Constancy

A short story, 7, 800 words, humor. Constance leaves home, takes on the guardianship of a friend’s young daughter, and her own elderly grandmother, and a three-story apartment house. Emotional interruptions by her sometimes boyfriend in the Army have competition from the new man in her life -- the electrician she calls to service her building. When he shows up in his Civil War reenactor’s Union Army uniform, Constance discovers that commitment to quality is a never ending battle.
