It was a Saturday evening and Melody was sitting on the couch, stirring cookie dough. She didn’t have much a life. She went to the university, she went to work, she came home and jogged. Her old high school boyfriends back home were all married and either their wives were expecting a baby, or they already had 2 or 3 kids. Plus they wouldn’t want to go on a long drive to Texas just to see her for a couple hours if they were single.

Sausage; pepperoni; bacon; chicken; garlic; pineapple!” She set it down on the counter and grabbed two plates from the cupboard, “Meat Lovers!”
Garren chuckled, “Yeah, you know us carnivores and what we like on our pizza.” He grabs two cups and opens the fridge, “If you have just almond milk in here, I will dump it all over you.” He holds the cup in one hand and opens the fridge with the other, he kneels down and looks inside, “Oh!
