The Mistress
Mira Shaw showed up at the end of the
funeral. She appeared and stayed in the background. She wore a tight mini dress with dark shades, broad
elastic belt, and huge wide brimmed hat. This was his favorite outfit. She
looked up and sniffled. His family did not know she was the one who made all of
the arrangements. His wife had long gone, but his four grown children lined the
front row. Hugh Townsend had many friends, and she stood in the back ground barely
noticed. Their relationship was mostly secrets, lies, and sex. This was all she
wanted. All she wanted was him, he was married but she had been with him for
many years. She really loved the man she was dating, so she really did it to
please him. Mira got some satisfaction from it but this was her gift to him.
They had been together for thirty years and now it was over. This was her
closure. She caressed the large turquoise ring he gave her. It was her mistress
ring, she would be the next wife, he always said. She turned on her heel and walked out of the cemetery.
