Round the Bend

The old man was reminiscing, “I travelled by train all year for my work, so that I could fly your mother to a holiday spot she fancied every year. I researched all year to find the best place that I could afford, and lied to my boss to manage leave. Those vacations were the stuff of memories.”

“Dad, one can book vacations on credit, and apps are available for the rest of it. Why go round the bend, if there are shortcuts available?”

“You will never know what it means to bend the rules, for the love of your life,” he silently thought.

 

The cue was Bend.
