While We Waited

She hates babies.

He just happens to have one.


She hates liars.

She’s pretty sure he is one.


She never sleeps with a man more than once.

He has only had sex with one woman in his whole life, and now she's gone.


He has boundaries.

She has none.


He prays before every meal.

She silently hopes he'll stop doing that.


Faith is what's left when everything everything else is stripped away, he says. 

What will be left when she's naked, stripped, bare, raw? She has no idea.  What if there's nothing?
