As Expected by Simon Constantine
What, precisely, did Joseph expect? Aubrey Little, Wife to Joseph Little, teased her husband over breakfast one bright Saturday morning (eggs, biscuits, and enough gravy to all but entirely mask the grit of egg shells which crunched like sand with every bite).
What Joseph expected, “precisely,” was a distraction. Quirky, amusing, and if he was being honest with himself, ultimately sad and disappointing when all was said and done. That was one of the downsides of being the numbers 506 and 507 to cap off the previous town population of 505: there weren’t so many annoying people, but there also weren’t all that many interesting or exciting people (who weren’t addicted to meth).
And what would Joseph do if it turned out to be a prank--"I mean, a complete prank; a hoax”-- and nobody even showed up? There was a lot of work to be done around the house, and, Aubrey informed him with a sly smile and a kiss as Joseph pulled on his jacket, a lot of work to be done in the bedroom.
