"Sorry. Hi. I got a little…" Mesmerized. Overwhelmed. Lost.

I shake my head to reboot and try once again. "Come in," I finally offer, drawing her inside and kissing her eagerly.

"I didn't know what to bring," she explains. "I figured you wouldn't appreciate my taste in wine, and flowers felt weird, so…"

She proffers a shiny black bag.

"What's this?" I ask, curious what she'd choose to bring me.

"It's the goop…and some other stuff."

"Thanks, Bella. That was really sweet. How about some wine?"

"Thanks. I see you got a replacement chair."

"Yeah…another orphan for the group home."


A/N: Goop! And STUFF! :) She's wrong about the Yellow Tail, by the way. He would've LOVED it! That's today's. See you tomorrow! XXX ~BOH

PS- I'm already getting a lot of questions about 'other stuff' so I'll just say right here, it's SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER, folks. Get your minds out of the Adam & Eve catalog!
