Love Beyond The Wheel

A mix of flavors danced in Zuri's kitchen, each ingredient meticulously placed for his beloved chicken pilaf. He insisted that it was a masterpiece, every bite a testament to her affection. The dining table bore a precious gift from her mother - a white tablecloth adorned with embroidered blooms in pink, purple, and yellow. Her mother had gifted it to her, explaining that a beautifully set table had a magnetic allure to people. She had also constantly drilled in her that “the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach. Anticipating a magical evening, she wished for her culinary creation and the tablecloth to set the enchanting stage she had dreamed of.
