Wished elsewhere but it bears repeating: Happiest of Birthday wishes to Deb and Nic!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Many Happy Returns of the day to you and Nic, Deb!

And who knew how fast the phrase "cake and sex" could bring my muse running back? :)
(P.S. Happy Birthday Deb and Nic!)

“Come on. You trust me, don’t you?”
“Of course I trust you. It’s just…”
She waffles. It did sound good… very good…mmm… but! It was so different! What if she didn’t like it? Or if he loved it, but she didn’t? Then he’d want it all the time…
He caught her eye. “Come on honey. Just this once. If you don’t like it, then never again.” Warm, inviting smile, with a hint of mischief. She is powerless.
“Yeah, you’re right.” The triple fudge cake mix hits the basket with an air of triumph. “But… could we still have vanilla icing?”

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Heh. Of course, the trained cook over here is internally going "A MIX?!?!?"

Deb, they're only at the beginning of their forays. Soon they'll be wantonly sifting dry ingredients! Shamelessly kneading dough and allowing it to rise! She will be seduced by high culinary arts, just you wait.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
"Why did you do that? Why did you hurt your friend like that?"
"You assume I had a reason. I didn't."
"So you thoughtlessly hurt her? You helped her husband cheat on her without any thought to it whatsoever?"
"Yeah, I guess I did."
“For absolutely no reason?”
“I suppose.”
“Not even children think like that. They have reasons, albeit often childish and selfish reasons, for doing things. But they’re children. That’s expected. You’re a full grown woman. How could you violate her trust like that? If this is how you operate, how can I ever trust you again?”

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
So very late that by now it's old and overbaked, but it does bear repeating:
Very, very happy birthday to you, Deb!!!!!!

That cake is never overbaked. Thank you, ma'am.

Mmm. Cake.
