Bab 49: Do you love me?

Married straight out of college. He lived in the Bronx with his Eritrean wife, Annie. His degree could only get him a job at the brewery. Annie inherited a candy store from her Aunt. The house was all they had. They weren't paying rent, thanks to Late Miss Clever. She had built the house years before and willed it in Annie's name

Annie's aunt left her with quite a lot after her death. Though her Aunt wasn't that wealthy, she endured the benefits she left behind. Annie was sort of the breadwinner of the Plummer Couple. Since Derick wasn't bringing much from work.

It had only been a year since they moved in together and married. Derick would come home late at night with a pack of beer. Always yammering about how unfair it was at the brewery. Annie was often home a few hours earlier. She had time to make dinner in his stead.
