She Catches Her Breath in a Sob

J. Thomas

It's the start of a long weekend for Victoria and Danny, the unlikely couple at the center of this story. Danny, who originated from Ireland, is a boastful large man who drinks more than he should. He had two kids with his first wife but she died mysteriously in her mid-30's. He works in sales and likes to go golfing with the guys on the weekend. Vicky, his second wife, was once a bombshell blonde and straight A student in her youth. She had aspirations of being a doctor but they never came to be. Instead she went to Ireland to be a nanny for Danny's kids and a relationship with him developed. Now she lives her life as a stay at home mom watching after his kids. Vicky has asked Danny many times if she could be made to be the legal mother but he denies her time after time. This argument coupled with Danny's violent outburst have caused Vicky to feel like she is trapped in a loveless marriage and is being kept as a prisoner in her own home. The upcoming weekend is going to be a hectic one for Veronica and Danny. Veronica's old college roommate is dropping by on Saturday. On Sunday, it's their son Kevin's birthday party so Veronica's parents are staying the night. Her parents don't think much of Danny, so there is sure to be some awkward moments!
