Dad and I had a fight.
I'm going out for the weekend.
He's taking you camping.
I fired off my reply, ignoring the tears welling up.
Argued that I didn't want to go alone with him.
Why couldn't I go with her instead?
It's for the best.
Love you.
Mom and Dad had been arguing.
Or, more accurately, Mom and Dad were locked in a year-long war.
It was obvious that their 16-year relationship had passed its expiration date, and both were too stubborn to be the first one to admit it.
Each clutching to the past transgressions like a hand of cards, neither winning, each too prideful to fold.
Sure, I had begun to suspect that it would be better for them to go their separate ways.
Especially after one of their recent spats resulted in a shattered casserole dish.
Its crimson content splashed across the kitchen like the fallout from a murder.
As well as a fist-sized hole in the hallway drywall.
I could still remember the happier times.
And the thought of us ceasing to be a family, of me splitting time at different homes, left me gutted.
But in the end, I was mature enough to recognize that it would be for the best.
When I stepped off the bus, I discovered Dad sitting at the top step of the front porch.
