For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn.

A) After Margot's husband left her for her younger sister she was devastated. It was one week after their wedding. One. Week. She couldn't believe the betrayal. Now she's stuck in the house they bought together with all their wedding gifts scattered around their, well, her living room. Thankfully the house is under her name rather then theirs. She solemnly picked up the gift her older brother had given her. She carefully opened the package and saw that he bought her small baby shoes. Margot let out a loud cry. She couldn't breathe. She clutched the shoes to her chest and lay down in the fetal position. This felt too real. Everything felt too real. She's lay there waiting to wake up from this nightmare that is her life. She thought they were happy. But during all the planning and her sister being the maid of honor helping her and especially her fiancĂ©e she felt so ignorant for not being able to notice the tension between them both. She quickly sat herself upright and took a quick glance and everything she saw. It looked as if there were hundreds of presents all around her. She was going to get something out of this ordeal. Not one present will be returned. She quickly got up and went through all the gifts and separated them from what she wanted to keep to what she wanted to sell.  Margot pulled out her laptop from her briefcase and began to make labels for every item she wanted to sell. When she was finished, she slowly picked up her brothers gift. She became unsure on whether or not to sell them. She looked down at her keyboard and typed: For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn.

D) James the realtor finally sat down at the dinner table with his beautiful family of five after a long day of work. His four children, Zach (17), Portia(15), Karen(13), and Mark(11) were excited to see their father. Kathryn looked at her husband lovingly and asked him how his day went. James replied with a large grin "Well it started out rough but I dominated through in the end". As James placed his napkin on his lap, he noticed leftover blood on his hand and quickly licked his thumb and wiped it away while never letting go of his smile.
