73 Words in the 732: Andrea Santo Felcone

On this episode of 73 Words in the 732, we share the story, "Tea & Misery" by Andrea Santo Felcone Forcing Jesse to have “afternoon tea like The Royals” felt extra passive-aggressive, even by Lisa’s standards. He’d told her before: coffee (with cake) was for happy times; while tea (with honey and lemon) was for misery: divorce, funerals, illness. Everyone knew this. Everyone except Lisa. Lisa loved Chamomile--it “soothed her”. Funny, she didn’t seem so “soothed” while tossing his belongings out after he refused ‘afternoon tea’. Tea: The beverage of ‘break-ups’, too.
