“The pink sofa is mine!”
The elevated volume of Evan's voice made the teenage girl on the seat opposite his look up with an irritated frown. He offered her an apologetic smile. There had been no doubt about it, she was right—subway passengers shouldn't scream into their phones. He lowered his voice. “The sofa is mine, not Helen’s. I bought it before we married, and she—”
“Relax, Evan,” Carl said at the other end of the line. “Yes, the sofa is yours, and you’ve moved it to your new apartment. It’s safe from your ex. Helen won’t break down your door and steal it. Remember what we went through. Just be firm. Under no circumstances let her talk you into giving it back. Even though that thing is ugly as hell.”
“Let her talk me into giving it back? Never!” Evan shook his head with vigor. The time when he would fall for Helen’s charms was over. The very thought of her cuddling with someone else on his precious comfortable sofa made him cringe with disgust.
And it wasn't ugly. It was just pink.
“Next stop: Charles/MGH.” The automated announcement on the train’s speakers sounded like his ex—reproachful as if scorning the need to state the obvious.
