“This
(doctor’s) appointment hadn’t been my
idea. It had been my wife Sarah’s. And “idea” is probably the wrong word. “Ultimatum” would probably be a better
one. “Go see Harley.” She said, “or I’m
going to call a divorce lawyer. Or
smother you in your sleep.”
The threat about the divorce lawyer didn’t worry me that much. Sarah has a low opinion of the legal
profession, and would probably choose sticking with me over engaging the services
of one of its members. But the
smothering-me-in-my-sleep thing, that seemed within her range of capabilities.
