'No, I hate zucchini,' Janet pleaded.
'Oh come on, it's not half as bad as you think it is,' Daniel said, as he reached for the offending object, only to be stopped by Janet pulling his arm. 'Can't we get something else in the salad? What about… eggplant?' she asked.
'Yuck!' Daniel said. 'I hate eggplant.'
Janet glared at Daniel, and Daniel glared at Janet. A deadlock was in effect. Finally, Janet spoke up. 'As much as I love you Daniel, I will never, never, accept zucchini in my salad.'
'And as much as I love you, Janet, I will never, never, accept eggplant in my salad,' Daniel retorted.
'Why don't you just find some other vegetable,' Sam said from behind them, causing them both to jump seven feet and two inches up in the air. Both Daniel and Janet spun around to find Sam leaning over her shopping cart, smiling. 'Hi,' Sam said.
'Um… hi, Sam,' Daniel said, chocking down his cough.
'Heh…' was all that Janet could get out of her mouth.
'So… the two love birds can't decide on a salad, eh?' Sam asked, smiling.
'What? No, what… I mean…' Daniel stumbled out of his mouth.
'Sam!' Janet cried out. Sam grinned at the two.
'Don't worry, your secret's safe with me,' she said. Daniel and Janet both let out audible sighs of relief. 'You can't decided on a simple salad. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone,' Sam said, as she started walking towards the checkout, wearing the smuggest smile she had worn in a long time. Daniel coughed, and Janet chocked.
'By the way, I like leek,' Sam shouted over her shoulder at the two stunned 'love birds'.
