Over Latte and Scones in Poetry JoeUser Forums

He said “you told me you Loved me.” She said “no, I never said That. What I meant was ‘I love you.’” “Yeah, but…” “What?” and then a swarm of ellipses and question marks hovered over their latte and scones. It's not like I'm asking for a kidney! Buy my book! <BR

Reply to Hiccups in a Marriage in Sex & Romance JoeUser Forums
