When your husband of thirteen years sends a close-up of his erect penis,
you should not, under any circumstances, ask him why he sent it. Rachel
Abbott didn’t know much about sexting etiquette, but she was fluent in
middle-aged male fragility. It was the theme of the birthday party currently
rattling the walls of her home. A massive bowl of pimento cheese sat
congealing on her kitchen island, while a dozen lawyers in her living room
got wasted on single malt scotch in red Solo cups. Her house was filled with
food she didn’t eat and people she barely knew, because Matt was turning
forty and needed balloons and streamers to blunt the sharp edges of his
mortality.
She shouldn’t have let Faith talk her into such a big phone. Rachel had
trusted her twenty-one-year-old daughter’s claim that it was great for
watching movies, but it also made the penis inescapable. The detail of the
high-resolution image kept her frozen, holding an icing knife in one hand
and dick pic in the other, with the muffled beat of “Rump Shaker” as a
jeering soundtrack in the background.
Maybe it wasn’t him. She tried to remember the last time she’d seen
Matt’s penis up close but could only picture him drunkenly peeing against
their neighbor’s crape myrtle after last year’s Fourth of July barbecue.
Maybe one of his law firm buddies had stolen his phone when he wasn’t
looking. Abbott and Associates had an aging frat boy vibe that eroded the
elegance of every event. When she’d sent out the invitations for Matt’s
party, one of the senior partners had offered to bring a keg.
Rachel wiped away the buttercream smeared on the screen and tapped
the photo to zoom in. No, it was definitely Matt’s penis. She had always
thought it looked like something out of a textbook—perfectly shaped, and
Goldilocks-sized. Not too big. Not too little. The text was probably a dig at
their anemic sex life. Or a bumbling request for a birthday blow job. Both
possibilities left her annoyed and wilted. She’d been standing for twelve
hours straight and had no intention of spending the rest of the night trading
pithy sex memes or getting rug burns on her knees.
The kitchen door swung open, and Matt poked his head inside. The
phone slipped from her hand and landed facedown with an ominous crack
that made her wince. She could almost hear Faith groan, “I told you to get a
case, Mom.”
“Sorry, I forgot,” Matt said. “Where are the cups again?” The overhead
light glinted against his glasses, obscuring his eyes. His pale skin was
mottled red, and his short dark hair was damp at the temples, like he had
just come back from a run.
