“Ella finished her burger and dug into a side of fries. Hi watched, enraptured. She couldnt help but notice. “Would you like one?” “What? Sure.” Hi smiled, made no move. After a moment, Ella nudged the bowl his way. “Careful, theyre still hot.” “Oh, no problem.” Hi fumbled for a fry. “I like food thats hot.” I caught Shelton slowly shaking his head. “Oh, shoot!” Ella winced. “I forgot to stop by the office. My mother had to drop off my shin guards.” She slid her fries over to Hi. “Enjoy. Theyre hot, which apparently you like.” “Got that right. Hot hot hot!” Hi awkwardly shoved another fry into his mouth. “Okay, wow.” Ella gathered her things, then brushed my cheek with a kiss. “Later, Tor.” Shouldering her bag, she hurried from the cafeteria. A loud thunk drew my attention back to the table. His forehead was resting on his tray. “Tell me that wasnt as bad as I think.” “Worse,” Shelton said. “So, so much worse.” Then head rose, then thunked back down. “I dont remember parts. I think I lost time.” I patted his shoulder. “Thats probably for the best.” “Such.” Thunk. “A.” Thunk. “Dumbass.” Thunk. Shelton laughed nervously. “See? Thats why I dont talk.” His face shot up. “Tell her I have brain seizures. A serious medical condition. Or that I have an evil twin who sometimes takes my place, but cant talk for crap.” “Got it, I promised. His head dropped once more.” ― Kathy Reichs, Exposure baliindiancuisine/recipe/the-delicious-fast-food-pizza-sandwich/
