It's okay, Connie. Digging a hole was a metaphor for the end of the relationship. On down a couple of paragraphs, he says all that was left was who would throw in the first shovel full of dirt ... that meant by saying the words it was over. He was going to be the one to do that at dinner.
So sad. The end is always hard.
Interesting story ! It left me a bit confused but I'll eventually get it!
Ohhh, I’m sorry. Tell me where it was confusing and maybe I can fix it.
I'm not really sure but it sounded like he was burying a body at first but then I realized he was burying a letter?
