“That’s not how the game is played. You have to answer the question.” She sat back and clattered her freshly manicured nails on the Formica table.
He shifted on the seat and instead watched the steam rise from his coffee. “I don’t want to play.”
“Come on. It’ll be fun.”
He looked up. Her lipstick was smeared and the wrong color for her, she was wearing his shirt again. She’d ruined his favorite last week. Her side of the table was littered with torn sugar packets and a mosaic of leftover breakfast.
“Okay fine. I’d change everything about you.”

Dear Karen,
Oops! I see this relationship headed for the skids. I really enjoyed this. By the way you describe her I can imagine what he’s like. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I have a feeling there was one thing that he wanted to keep….. his shirt (but maybe he would cut another loss and let her keep it)

Well, if you’re going to ask that question, you’ve got to be prepared for an answer your not going to like! Fun take.

Ouch! Since you forced it out of him, that’s what you get. Sometimes the truth can’t be concealed when it’s shouting to get out!

Yikes! You’ve created quite a vivid scene here. I suspect that in a year’s time, it may look a little different. Nice response to the prompt.
