Dead On Arrival
“Dano said as he took another bite of potato pancake. “Damn. I’m impressed.”
My CSIC (Catholic School Induced Conscience) said I should tell him the truth, but for the moment, I reveled in the compliment and thought, hell, he might be lying about something much more serious than potato pancakes so why not let him believe the cooking was mine?
I really didn’t want to like him. I really didn’t want to think of this as a date. I really didn’t want him to be guilty!
“Thanks,” I muttered ...and stuffed my mouth with a glob of sour cream. Yuck! I cut a piece of pancake and ate it to wash down the sour cream.
Dano glared at me. “What’s wrong?”
I waved my hand and took a sip of wine. “Oh, nothing. Just too much sour cream.”
“That’s not what I mean, and you know it.”
He almost sounded angry. At least he did sound serious.MoreLess
