She had a Mazda 626.
She was at a light on Beach Blvd. A chick in a flower delivery truck did not notice that she was stopped and hit her going about 50 miles a hour from the back. Car was totaled of course. She was out of action for a good bit. Did not go to work, had therapy and all that. . Now we had our disagreements. . . but there was never no hatred. No drag down fights between us. I went into super husband mode. Took care of everything.
She was still my wife after all. . Her back got fukked up but therapy was getting it right. In the meanwhile she said she did not want another car. .she wanted something bigger. She was afraid to drive a small vehicle again. I was pushing a Yukon. . She did not want nothing that big. . But def a SUV.
So I bought her a Acura SLX.
Basically a gussied up Isuzu Trooper.
But it was fully loaded all the luxury options. Got it at a good rate cause the MDX's had just come out so this was the older body style.
When she was ready to drive she took it for a spin. . . She was terrified cause it was so high.
So she went out and bought herself a new Camry. She had two whips. She used the MDX strictly for garage sales shopping she did on sat mornings. I did not care. It was hers.
What I did care about was getting free. I was obsessed with it.
We were still going thru our daily routines. . She got told she was getting back most likely 90 plus grand in a settlement.
When she told me the news. . I told her congrats. . But look. I don't care. You can keep all that cash. I just want to be free. I think for the first time she looked at me and saw my unhappiness. She always kind of pushed it off before. I had JUST bought her the truck. I was willing to take that L. She said ok.
But. . this is not the end.
