“Yes, I do. I want to know how you went from a promising career in the business world to...”
“Promising career,” she laughed. “I don’t know about that.”
“A career not given an opportunity to blossom is unfortunate.”
“Well, I wanted or we wanted to start a family and my husband the doctor, thought it would be better if I were a lady of leisure.”
“Oh, I didn’t know you had children.”
“We don’t.”
“I’m sorry.”
She folded her arms in front of her. That was a sore spot for Cori. She and Dexter had been trying to get pregnant, until they stopped having sex. His not wanting sex meant he also didn’t want children.
“Don’t be. I’ve been thinking about putting that degree to use.”
“You should.” He leaned against the counter. “What would you like to do?”
She hadn’t given it any thought, and Dexter never asked her what she wanted to do. She always followed his lead. “I don’t know. I mean I have the degree, but I don’t think I want to work in the corporate world. Are you sure you want to hear this?”
He placed his bag on the counter and sat down on a stool. “Tell me, Cori Abernathy, what would you like to do with the rest of your life?”
She walked around the counter, poured two cups of coffee and placed one in front of him along with the plate of cookies. He picked up a cookie and took a bite.
“I used to think...”
“These are good.”
“Thank you.”
He took another bite. “These are really good.”
“Thank you, I wasn’t sure...”
“Did you make these?”
“Yes.”
“These are good.” He took another bite. “Really good.”
She smiled. “Thank you.”
“I know what you should do.”
“What should I do?” She bit a cookie and sipped some coffee.
“Cook or bake.”
“What? You’re insane.” She smiled.
“No, these cookies are great and if everything else you do, I mean make, tastes as great, you should consider a catering business.”
“Funny you should say that.”
“Why?”
“A long time ago, I thought about starting a catering business.”
