“Then I’d have a chef” I holdthe recipe for Black Bean Breakfast Bowl

It sounds sis, avocado slices, and salsa How hard can that be? Hell, even Eleanor ht approve of this dinner

SettingTessa’s voice “Free range chicken eggs and organic black beans” Picking up the can, I don’t see organic anywhere on the Bush’s label “Oh, well, Jake I guess we’ll have to hope for the best with these avocados”

As I drain the beans,across the table in his blazer and tee He was always so handso funny about the meal or had some silly story from preschool Pain twists in my stomach as I think about how much I miss them

He’s steps from the door on the porch, and his hand is behind his neck He looks like he ed over here He’s all sweaty and sexy, and ht in the kitchen when he kissed me

Grab the reins, Ruby
