The table was perfect.
The white tablecloth perfectly set off the red napkins. The plates were white but edged with silver to match the perfectly spotless cutlery. The centerpiece of evergreen and holly branches dripping with berries was perfectly arranged in a perfectly polished silver bowl.
She imagined the perfect dinner party, with the perfect guests laughing at her husband’s perfectly brilliant stories. Her perfect daughter joined them with perfect manners and disappeared with perfect silence. The perfect feast was perfectly arranged and tasted perfectly delicious.
She turned off the lights. As long as it stayed perfect, so was she.
