An excerpt from All That’s Unseen by Emilee Hackney
“Hey, where’s your ring?”
Jeremy sat on the counter in front of the microwave. He was supposed to be finishing up the day’s dishes.
“Sold it,” I said. I was crouched in front of the open oven, steel wool in one hand, degreaser in the other. Ten minutes of spraying and scrubbing had barely made a difference on the greasy orange glass.
“Sold it?” Jeremy echoed. “Ain’t you supposed to be getting married?”
I sighed. Sam had gone to jail only two months earlier, but it felt like a lifetime ago. “Not anymore.”
