9. Cherries
It was about mid-summer and, once again, the fruits were back in season. There were rows and rows of carts in the downtown marketplace covered in piles of various fruits and fruit products: Pears, strawberries, raspberries, jams, watermelons, even pineapples and bananas, imported from the south. They filled the air with a sweet perfume which attracted huge crowds.
"Did we forget anything?"
Ed turned away from Roy and eyed the growing crowd at the fruit stands, his mind automatically calculating the best route through. Then, he glanced back up at his lover with a wicked grin, letting his eyes rove obviously along the man's body before darting off into the crowd and shouting over his shoulder, "Yup! Cherries!"
