“Fleur!” exclaimed Zeus Pamplemousse. He fell to one knee and recited:

“Of all that ever once did bloom,
you were the sweetest flower on the moon.”

My wife scowled at him. She folded her arms and replied:

“I do not forget.
Go away. That poem is
unforgivable.

“They say time heals all wounds,” simpered the Moon Monarch.

“I say no!” Fleur shot back, lunging forward to emphasize her words with a grip on his throat. “Eternity wouldn’t fix what you did.”

Zeus stood up, unperturbed by Fleur’s nails gouging his neck. “I understand, now, that it was time for someone else to be touching your body. But at the time, I was unprepared for what I walked in on. It surprised me.”

Fleur released her choke hold, mainly so she could stop standing on her tiptoes. “You say you were surprised when you walked in? I thought you were in Africa.”
