A very short story that I almost didn’t read to the end — if you are a grammar nazi like me, you’ll also flinch at incoherent use of tenses. But I would have missed an interesting ending.

Devlyn is Sylvia’s best friend, and is there for her, when Sylvia finds her partner of ten years in bed with another woman. Devlyn has also been secretly in love with Sylvia for a long time. Oh no, not that plot again? Well, give it one more try!

For one thing, it’s rather unusual that the author manages to tell the story without having Dev speak a single word. For another, there’s a twist at the end that came quite unexpected for me.

A nice return on a few minutes’ investment of your reading time.
