Sausage Platter

“I’ll have the sausage platter, thank you.”

The waiter nodded and left us to ourselves. With a teasing smile, I looked up at her. “That’s a big meal. Sausages, hash browns, toast, eggs, soup, salad… It’s going to take you forever to finish all of that.”

She blushed and looked away shyly. “I’m sorry I eat so slow.”

I chuckled and reached out for her hand. “No, no, it’s fine. But why did you order so much? Are you that hungry?”

Her eyes sought mine, and I saw them gleam with purpose. “I just… want to spend more time with you.”

Smiling, I reached over to kiss her cheek.
