“You know, you should take a picture. It’ll last longer.”

“I don’t like cameras.”

“Why?”

“You ask a lot of questions, you know that?”

“There’s always a reason why someone doesn’t like somethin’. So why don’t you like them?”

“Are you one of those people who needs to find the answers no matter what in order to satisfy their curiosity?”

“Yeah. How’d you know?”

“Just a hunch.”

Ten minutes had passed without any further explanation. When he closed his eyes again, his head began to bob and droop, but he quickly caught himself and patted his cheek. Another yawn escaped him. Martha returned with our drinks, looking between Peter and me with pursed lips.

“Thank you,” I said.

“Yes, thank you.” Peter gave her a sincere but tired smile, and Martha left without a word. He sighed, reaching for two packets of sugar, muttering, “I really hope she didn’t spit in my coffee.”

I leaned forward, searching for any spit particles floating in my drink. “She didn’t in mine.”

“Then I’ll keep havin’ hope.”

I bit my bottom lip and smiled, watching him empty the packets of sugar. Gently setting the glass on my belly, I took a much-needed sip. My shoulders relaxed. The heavenly aroma of greasy burgers and sizzling bacon emanated from the kitchen, and my stomach growled in anticipation. Peter looked up, his brows raised. A grin stretched from one side of my face to the other, showing every tooth. He lowered his head and let out a breathy chuckle before taking a sip of his coffee. Martha walked over with a tray and set down our plates of food. I sat upright in excitement and set the glass of apple juice to the side.

I smiled. “Thank you.”
