| I scrubbed dishes in the shallow end of
the dark pool, while he cleaned off the filth left behind by his mystery laborsThen he helped me
with the last of the dirty bowls
When we were done, he escorted me back to the kitchen, which was starting to fill up with the
lunch crowdMore perishables were on the menu: soft white bread slices, slabs of sharp cheddar
cheese, circles of lush pink bolognaPeople were scarfing down the delicacies with abandon,
though the despair was still perceptible in the slump of their shoulders, in the absence of smiles
or laughter
Jamie was waiting for me at our usual counterTwo hermes birkin bag replica double stacks of sandwiches sat in front of
him, but he wasn't eatingHis arms were folded as he waited for meIan eyed his expression
curiously but left to get his own food without asking
I rolled my eyes at Jamie's stubbornness and took a biteJamie dug in as soon as I was chewing
Ian was back quickly, and we all ate in silenceThe food tasted so good it was hard to imagine a
reason for conversation?or anything else that would empty our mouths
I stopped at two, but Jamie and Ian ate until they were groaning in painIan looked as though
he was about to collapseHis eyes struggled to stay open
