The Beauty of Staying Together: Chapter One - Hope for a Troubled Marriage?

Seated on the brown overstuffed sofa, Calvina, a married sixteen-year old had just nestled into the arms of her lover, Edgar. He's everything I always wanted in a man. She smiled to herself as she played with the button on his shirt. Maybe Edgar will ask me to marry him. If he does, I would divorce Duane Dawson in a heartbeat. Calvina settled back, crossed her long legs, and let her brown eyes roam around the spotless apartment. We gon' have a place like this someday, she thought. Calvina finger twirled the black twirly curls that graced her honey-colored face as she glanced around at the sparkling glass topped tables. The television and floor model stereo were both polished to a high gloss. Bonnie, Edgar's sister was a good housekeeper. Yep, one day Edgar and me gon' be as happy as Bonnie and Louis.

The frantic knock at the door startled Calvina, interrupting her daydream and sent Bonnie's short legs scurrying across the room to answer the door.
