I called her Frondescence, because she was always seemed to find new ways of leaving me and I doubt that she’ll ever come back. If only we could have only met later on in life when I was more mature. She was special to me and I am the one who is culpable for our relationship falling apart. She warned me from the beginning that she would not stand for me showing interest in anybody but her, but when I saw this tall blonde hitchhiking in the rain, I stopped to offer succor, because I saw she was in distress. When I got back to our apartment, I told her about the girl that I picked up in the rain, and she flipped out saying, “You can have her if you want her, as I am leaving.”
I said, “Honey, it is not like that, nothing happened and all I want is you. I would never sink to the level of cheating on you, so you have no reason to be jealous of this girl that I will most likely never see again. I would not have even told you about her, if I thought that you were going to go off on a virtual tirade like this. I want our love to soar, but if you already have your mind made up, I did get that girl’s phone number.” She threw a shoe at me and left.

I was shaking my head when I saw the prompt frondescence, worrying how the hell was I going to fit that into a story, so instead I built the story around that obscure word.
