When Love Breaks by Jack

Ramona chuckled softly, “Understood, sweetheart.”

“As long as you know,” I replied with a smile.

Then I turned to Gregory, “Let’s head home. We should drop Chris off first.”

Christine ushered me out of the room, “It’s getting late. Go home, take a nice shower, and get some good sleep. And remember to bring me my favorite lobster bisque for lunch tomorrow!”

“Alright, lobster bisque it is,” I promised, touched by her thoughtfulness, “Thank you, Chris.”

I knew her request for lunch was just her way of giving me some peace of mind.
