THE OCEAN OF THE LORD
A winter wind blew across the pond. Trina huddled close to Brian on the bridge as a flock of ducks fought for the breadcrumbs he threw.
“Remember our wedding?” he asked. “Flowers in your hair. This same park.”
“Forty-five years ago.” She shivered. “In June.”
“I read where a pair of swans in England divorced.”
“I thought they mated for life. What happened?”
“Failure to breed.”
“Are you saying you want a divorce because we couldn’t…?” She held her breath.
He smiled and took her hand. “Let’s go home, my beautiful swan…”
With love and affection, Trina whispered, “…and practice.”

Happy anniversary, Rochelle. I remember speaking to Madison about her search for a successor and saying “I’d love to but I’m about to have a baby”, so I knew it must be coming up. You are a worthy and well-respected leader; thank you for all your work keeping the FF not just alive but thriving.
Turning to your story, I like the love and playfulness you sew into the conversation, and especially the last few lines. In UK English that last word should be practise, but I suspect in the US it’s right as you have it, so I mention this out of interest only. Did you draw the swans? It’s a lovely picture; I particularly like how the heart shape is off-centre, making it more realistic and still (or therefore) beautiful.
LikeLike
Dear Jennifer,
I could see where you would’ve been a worthy successor. She told me when I first asked that there were some others interested. Then I made such an impassioned plea that she said if I was serious Friday Fictioneers was mine. Little did I know…;) BTW you can also put some of that blame on my husband, Doug and Kent who all told me I should take it on. I can’t go into great detail, but Friday Fictioneers has gotten me through some very trying times.
As the story, I did mean for this to be an American couple. I’m truly fascinated by the differences in speaking and spelling. http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/stories/british-swans-get-divorced That’s the link from which I jumped for my story. I picture this couple to be in Loose Park in Kansas City. http://kcparks.org/park/loose-park/ When we were dating, Jan and I used to go for Sunday walks there. (Sorry in inundate you with links.)

I think your story very much portrays something I’ve often observed in couples who have accepted or opted for a childless marriage. Many of them have a particularly close bond; although like swans, if one of them dies, the other often follows close behind. And sometimes men find it quite hard to share a woman with children!

I actually had comments on my blog. 😉 This was great! By the time Madison announced that she was laying down FF in October I couldn’t bear the thought of losing it. I’d made some good friendships by then.
