I thought about it for a second and then sighed with a smile. “I can’t believe you remember that, Joe. I haven’t thought about that in a long time.”
Joe slapped two pieces of egg and cinnamon coated bread into the pan.
It sizzled, followed by the delicious smell of warm cinnamon.
My toes curled.
Fooling around in the shower? And now French toast?
This kind of felt like heaven.
Then Joe looked at me.
Hell broke its way through.
I bit my bottom lip.
He nodded.
We were both thinking the same thing.

Chapter Thirty-Six
ANNA
I pickedup the bottle of organic, natural syrup and I curled my lip.
“What?” Joe asked with a slight growl.
“Natural? Organic?”
“It’s real maple syrup, Anna.”
“I don’t want real maple syrup. I want the stuff that’s fake, full of sugar, and pretends to be real. Duh.”
Joe grabbed the glass bottle in the shape of a maple leaf and walked back to the fridge.
He opened the door, then slammed it shut.

He placed a plastic bottle in front of me.
I smiled.
“You and I both know this is the good stuff,” I said.
“Yeah. Hurry up. I want some too.”
“I knew it,” I said. “You don’t use that fucking organic stuff. Who was it for? A woman, right? Some skinny little thing that uses real maple syrup. Probably used agave instead of sugar. Fake.”
“Let me get this straight here, Anna. You’re jealous over syrup?”
“No. I’m pissed over syrup, Joe. You’re wasting my time trying to get me to use that other stuff.”
I smiled bigger and poured way too muchfakemaple syrup on my three thick slices of French toast.
