If she was buying pornographic orreries then she had clearly run out of legitimate expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, I&#8217;m captivated by the clockwork prurience on her nightstand. I wound it when I came in, and watched as the &#8220;planets&#8221; <em>rolled about in uncouth positions<\/em>. The mechanism ran down, <em>stopping of its own accord<\/em>, and I&#8217;m staring a while longer. Venus in particular holds my attention, appropriately enough.<\/p>\n<p>I know I should be leaving Tiffany\u00a0alone, but she started it. She said to her new lover, Antoine, &#8220;<em>Has not he the true build of a cuckold?<\/em>&#8221; If she&#8217;s going to make those kinds of comments, then she should send them via an email account I don&#8217;t know the password for. It&#8217;s like she&#8217;s rubbing my face in it. Antoine doesn&#8217;t have the foggiest idea what a cuckold is, and Tiff knows that.<\/p>\n<p>I snap a picture of the orrery and send it to my new lover, Adrienne. I&#8217;ll show it to my lawyer in person, keeping the evidence of my break-in from bloodying his electronic hands. Adrienne already knows I&#8217;m here. She&#8217;s waiting in the car. Her reply is characteristically earthy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t know the solar systems, but<\/em> it looks like something interesting is happening to Uranus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiffany didn&#8217;t deserve any more money has not he the true build of a cuckold? stopping of its own accord rolled about in uncouth positions I don&#8217;t know the solar systems, but Alimony, acrimony.
