      The Wait

      Mar 15, 2018

      The moist cheese on his blue-and-white porcelain, the Pinot. Our entire marriage, I had been accepting those gifts, not waiting for the meal. My husband came into the living room and sniffed behind my ear. He moved my pretty hair. He told me I smelle

      Smirking? Or Non-Smirking?

      Aug 20, 2021

      You know that smirk. You’ve experienced it a hundred times in cafes and restaurants. That little, derisory snort reserved for vegans, when they ask if there’s a vegan option. That curt sound, halfway between ‘no’ and ‘huh’. I got one last week. I was
