CHAPTER 12

MELODY

“I think I’ll do my normal cheeseburger,” I tell Steph. There are about five or six different meals I order here. At least for dinner or lunch time. I’m a creature of habit. Once I like something, I tend to eat it over and over again.

“You want your normal salad or the mozzarella one?” she asks.

“Mozzarella please.”

“You have mozzarella salad?” Frank asks, flipping the menu to the other side. I think it’s been the same menu for the past ten years, so he probably knows it by heart.

“It’s not on the menu. We have the stuff to make it, so Mark makes it special for Melody.” Steph nods her head toward the kitchen window, where you can see Mark cooking in the back. Frank furrows his eyebrows for a second. I swear he almost looks jealous of Mark making me a special salad. Which is ridiculous since Mark is three times my age.

“I’ll just have whatever she’s having.” He hands Steph the menu.

“You want the burger the same way too?” she asks.

“Yeah.”

“All right.” She takes my menu next.

“You don’t have to eat what I eat, Biscuit. It doesn’t bother me. You should get whatever you want.”

“If we’re going to live together, I should get used to eating how you eat,” he rebuffs.

“I don’t always have to eat perfectly. I have mealtime insulin if I want to splurge, but I’m kind of used to eating what I eat at this point.”

“What exactly is a Mozzarella salad?”

“Just sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, and some balsamic dressing.” It’s simple but yummy.

“And a burger is okay?” His brows pull together, and I can tell he’s really thinking this all over. I have the feeling he’s going to be googling the hell out of this.

“I get it with no bun.”

“Right.” He nods. “And your blood type?” I snort a laugh. Frank scowls at me.

“I’m A positive, but I’m fine, Frank. I’m probably in better health than most people in this diner. Type 1 diabetes isn’t a death sentence if you take care of yourself. It’s just a lifestyle change that you have to get used to.”

“I hate that I didn’t know about this.” From his tone, I can’t tell if he’s irritated with me or himself. “I should have responded to your letters.” My heart melts at that. The man really is battling himself when it comes to me. As much as it annoys me, it’s endearing too.

“I wouldn’t have told you even if you had responded to my letters. You had enough to worry about. There is no way I would’ve added to that. That wasn’t the purpose of my letters.”

“Is there anything else I should know? Something else you’re keeping from me?” I think for a second but don’t come up with anything significant. I shake my head no. “There has to be.”

“I have this.” I dig through my purse and pull out a nose spray. “If I ever pass out, you shoot it up my nose.”

“Do you pass out a lot?!” His eyes widen.
