When I returned to the living room, Jake was sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels on TV. I sat down next to him, flung my arm around his shoulders, and gave him a very loud, wet kiss on his cheek, hoping to make him laugh. He snorted at my antics, and I grinned at him, happy to see him return my smile.

I led them all out and searched through them until I found several that sounded good. I b ught them back to Jake, and he picked out a sushi place I hadn't tried yet.

Jake pulled up the delivery app, entered our order, and then bellowed down the hallway that dinner would be here in 45 minutes.

"Oww," I said, rubbing the car.

Damn chopsticks-I have never learned the trick to using them gracefully. 1 was either dropping the piece as I tried to get it into my mouth or destroying it when picking it up. I groaned in frustration when the pice I had finally picked up fell before I could get it into my mouth. Glaring at the chopsticks, I put them down and picked up the sushi with my fingers. The others chuckled, and I gave them a dirty look, but Mike took pity on me, leaning over and picking up a piece of sushi off my
