#775 Vessel- Jon McGreggor
An old love, most likely unrequited comes to visit Mary in a snow storm. It is soon after her husband James’ death. He comes unannounced and brings flowers.
“It was just like him, not to have said he was coming. James would never have done such a thing. But neither would James have thought to bring flowers.”
As she mulls why he is here, and whether it’s a good thing, the men lets slip the reason for his visit. He wants something of Mary, but it is not what Mary thinks he wants. She is angry at his presumptuousness and of his blindness.
