Mojito Makes Me Cry

When he died, how was that for you? I asked, feeling somewhat emotional. Sharlene’s eye bags were beginning to swell.

Divided Attention

When we fight, we go at it tooth and nail. We will be standing toe to toe at each other’s throats exchanging ugly words nearly scratching each other’s eyes out and splitting hairs.
