Ice cream and Cigarettes

“Home is where the heart is.”.... “It takes two to tango.” God, how Kate hated those overused sayings and of course, just to slap her in the face, he left her with….”It’s not you… Katie, It’s me.” Her legs felt like warm jello underneath her… How could she have loved someone who would use cliche remarks to leave her?

She had known all about the girls flirting with him in his office. He was smart, successful, and obviously, out of her league, but for some reason she couldn’t quite figure out he had liked Kate.

It was that dreaded starting over time, but first, a gallon of mint chocolate ice cream was in order… and maybe a dozen packs of cigarettes.
