An enemy into New Wife

“If Luke had a new mother I think he could do better,” You say. “There is Harvey, he’s been kind of a dick to me...”

“That will do,” Dante says, putting a hand on your shoulder.

“What do you need?” you ask, sitting down in the living room.

“Invite Harvey over for dinner tonight,” Dante said, “We will organize everything.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

With that Dante left.

You pull out your phone and call Harvey, “Hey, Harvey. Are you doing anything tonight?”

“No... why are you calling out of the blue?” Haven’t says. “Last time we talked I thought you were going to punch me in the face.”

“I want to make amends, I’ve moved into a new place and thought... why leave all that package around. I’m sorry.”

“That’s big of you, man. Sure I’ll head over.”

You give him the address and say goodbye.

You sit back unsure what you have just done. But knowing that it’s the best for Luke. You decide to go over a few things in the house and do some work to keep your mind busy.

A little after dinner you hear the front door slam shut.

“Luke?” You ask.

“I’m going to my room!” Luke yells, “There is nothing to do in this shithole, Stepford wives knock off neighborhood!”

You sigh and return to dinner. After a while you hear a knock on the door.

“Hey! Fancy neighborhood,” Harvey says, “Who died and left you this?”

You hold back mentioning that your wife had passed away (even if it was a long time ago) and the feelings of why you chose Harvey rush to you. You especially remember all the dead wife jokes, especially the Princess Diane ones.
