“Yup, Henry, I see it, right there in the right hand corner!”
“Uh, you’re looking in the mirror, it’s up in the left corner”. Henry didn’t mean to be condescending, it was just an innocent remark, but to Mimi, it was a criticism. Mimi was on the verge of asking Henry for a divorce. Nothing was the same after five years of marriage. Mimi thought her brother was right, she and Henry should have lived together before they made it official. The now seemingly loveless union needed to end.
“Well, wherever it is, it needs to be fixed, now!” Mimi left and went to the grocery store. Henry was baffled, but she was right, the crack was getting bigger. He also left, for the hardware store.
It’s doubtful a crack could be the final straw, but it was.
