“At least that’s one part of our diet that isn’t horrible.” He says with a fond smile. Larry props his chin on his fist as he stares over at her, taking in every startling feature from her plump, welcoming lips to her long, thick eyelashes. Tearing his eyes away from her, he takes a sip from his drink and nods. “I can taste every ounce of sugar.” He says jestingly. Larry stirs the beverage with his straw, idly letting his mind stray.

They’d been through so much with each other only to be ripped away again and again. He keeps waiting for something terrible to happen between them, but the more time that passes, the less he thinks it will happen.
