Calm down, calm down, he shouted into the phone to stop his sister from wailing. You're serious, that scumbag really left you. Sam could not believe it as his sister told him how her no-good husband had packed and left after returning home Saturday from a week-long business trip. Her heard how she told him her husband would leave her at 30, but she'd never taken him seriously. Now, she was a mess. Crying over that piece of shit.
"Don't go anywhere. I'm on my way," Sam said, hanging up and heading out to make the 30-minute drive to his sister's place.
At 27, three years younger than his sister, he was single and working in a local marketing firm. This was early Saturday night so he was free for the weekend to be there for the sister he'd always looked up to. She had helped him out so often and now it was his turn to be there for her. He stopped a couple of blocks from her house, picking up a bottle of chianti, which he knew she liked. Maybe it would help her take some of the stress off.
