Read Part One Here.
Enjoy Part Part Seven, the conclusion!
5:30 p.m. comes along and we’re all staring out the front window.
And I mean all of us.
Me, Grover, Juliet, Ryan and Daisy.
Ty’s BMW drives up and pulls into the driveway.
He stops and pushes the automatic garage door opener attached to the visor.
The garage door opens.
Ty and all of us across the street see Nora brilliantly lit in the middle of the garage holding one of the autographed Louisville Slugger baseball bats.
And she’s smashing the living shit out of Ty’s beautiful man cave.
Ty drops his briefcase in horror and makes a move toward her, but Nora swings the bat in his direction as if to say, “Don’t even try it.” Then she goes back to work.
She smashes the bar top and the stools.
I wince.
She smashes the sports memorabilia.
Oh, God.
She smashes the Golden Tee.
No!
She smashes the two swivel chairs until feathers fly out and the garage looks like a shaken-up snow globe.
Oh, the horror.
And then she goes back to the bar and smashes the beer tappers.
Mad Hops beer sprays out, covering the walls, the artificial turf floor, and Nora herself in delicious vengeful victory.
The beer floods out of the garage and down the driveway over Ty’s shoes.
“She didn’t have to take it out on the beer. What did the beer do? The beer was innocent and refreshing,” Grover says.
“It serves him right,” Juliet says. “Right, Calvin?
I shake my head. “I don’t know. I’m just very conflicted about this outcome. That was one really sweet man cave.”
We watch Ty attempt to plead his innocence to Nora, but she just points across the street.
At us.
Ty turns around.
“Hide!” I shout, ducking my head under the window ledge.
“Hide! Hide! Hide!” Ryan says, joining me on the floor.
The kid loves to play hide-and-go-seek.
Juliet coolly closes the blinds shut and says to me, “I think we might have to move.”
I’d agree with her, but I keep my head down and my mouth shut, because Ryan and I are playing hide-and-go-seek and we take the game very seriously.
The End
Calvin Recker will return soon in "Homewrecker".
