"No, today is a gorge day"
"Well" I said "that seems a little counterproductive to me"
She went on to explain the diet. One day of eating all the food she could. The next morning I woke up to the smell of bacon. A huge breakfast sat on the table. As I ate she put pieces of bacon in her mouth.
"I thought you were starting that diet"
"No, another gorge day, the diet calls for two gorge days, then I really start the diet"
"Oh"
I kept eating the meal. My eyes didn't leave the plate. When I got home later that day she was home. I was reading a book and I could hear the sound of whipped cream. Whipped cream leaving the bottle and into her mouth. Two children walked into the house. They were being dropped off because their parents had a meeting about their divorce.
"I bet your loving that diet so far huh Lisa?"
Lisa laughed. I put the book down on my chest and took my fingers and put them in my ears. I took a deep breath.
