The Divorceary

Jason lives a comfortable life. His business is successful. Both his children have wonderful futures ahead, and people think he’s pretty neat. There is just one thing Jason wishes he could get rid of -- his ex. When they meet for coffee, however, Jason realizes that after ten years, he wants Howard back. Luckily, Jason has a plan. For Howard, his life is as good as it gets. He’s raised two great children, and helped his ex build a business that provides Howard palimony. Unfortunately, his ex is also the ultimate Zen-wrecker, and no amount of deep breathing can get him out of Howard’s head. When Jason shows up broke and with a hair-brained scheme to get Howard back in his life, under the guise of celebrating the tenth anniversary of their divorce, Howard isn’t sure if he’s being insulted or wooed. But he reluctantly agrees to go back to work at the company, and to allow Jason to move back home. Can ten years heal old wounds? Have Jason and Howard ever stopped loving each other, or should they call it a day and just celebrate their “divorce-ary?” And in the end, who will be the real trickster -- Jason, Howard, or that marvel we call love?

Chapter 13

Howard pulled himself onto his feet and yanked Jason up toward him. It was an adrenaline move, the kind that helped elderly people fight wolves to save their grandchildren, or let willowy teenagers lift cars off of people. He wasn’t sure if those things happened, but he had heard enough about them in tabloids and late-night news shows that he believed in them, and this seemed to make it easy for him to pull Jason up and practically drag him to shore. Somewhere during this time, Jason turned around and saw the serpentine beastie that had made Howard scream. Howard grabbed his hand and they both began to run away from it and toward the car. Finally, at the car, they stopped and turned to each other.

“My hero,” Jason said, hugging him.

Howard pulled back, looked at him, and then began to laugh like Jason hadn’t heard him laugh in a very long time. It only took a second for Jason to join in. When they had calmed down a bit, they both began to stare in the direction of the kayaks.
