Breakmein (2014)
“He was so up to his elbows in froth and caramel sauce, he’d skipped lunch to keep pace.
The usual three o’clock lull had never appeared and now that it was nearly eight he was hoping for a chance to simply breathe. The break he’d needed all day finally came shortly before ten when he turned from the sink to find Elena leaning against the counter.
“Busy night.”
“Something going on around town I don’t know about?”
“Just end-of-summer fever, it seems.”
“Not complaining or anything, but damn my fee...t hurt.”
“You look tired.”
He felt tired. All the way down into the marrow of his bones. “I’m exhausted. Sorry to say, I hope you don’t have anything planned for the night because I’m about as valuable to you right now as a limp noodle.”
“No, I had no plans tonight. But I was thinking we should play a round of golf tomorrow. Weather seems as though it will hold up. Didn’t see the weather nuts forecasting any storms. Maybe it will even be a little warm.”MoreLess
