When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

After some thought, I told her, “I think you can get to know Linda. She definitely knows more than I do.”

“Why should I make dinner? Aren’t we going out to a restaurant?”

“Armond had gastric problems. I’m telling you – he’s crazy. He doesn’t eat anything that’s not to his standard. And I have to help him manage all three meals, or I might lose my job!”

She looked envious. “What about you let me do that instead? I’m sure I’ll take great care of him.”
