The Course of True Love
For months I have admired you from afar. Across the office floor, I drink in every detail of you as if you are a rich red wine. I dream of the life we could have together.

The Last Supper #2
THEY'D DONE SOMETHING WITH THE TABLES, pushed them together and covered the seams with a single white tablecloth that almost hid how makeshift the whole arrangement was. Almost. If you looked closely, you could see where the edges didn't quite line up, where the chairs were mismatched, where the whole thing could come apart at any moment.

The Last Supper #1
THE OLIVE GARDEN ON ROUTE 46 wasn't anyone's first choice, but it was the only place that could seat fourteen on a Saturday night without a reservation.

I roll it up, almost all the way to the top, it rolls down under its weight and I have to start over.
