Prompt by John Elliot, in bold.
“Welcome home, darling; I’ve missed you. I’ve got you a big glass of your favorite malt. I’m sorry, but I’ve something to tell you.”
I stared at Emma with my heart in my mouth, then glanced at the crystal tumbler in her hand. My mother-in-law couldn’t know which favorite malt was precisely my preferred between Caol Ila or Balvenie, so I took the glass and sniffed, wondering how bad things could be.
“Fuck! It’s Caol Ila. What’s happened, Em?”
“Jack is here.”
“My friend Jack?”
“Yes.”
“Why would I need a treble malt whisky simply because Jack is here?”
“Jack is inseminating Claire right now. And to get all of the contentious news out in one go, more fertile bulls are arriving later in a staggered roster.”
