Moira's Day Off
“Sandwiches or Thai?” I ask aloudwww.onedoor.cc, out of habit. I can imagine Moira’s reply: You’re not on track with your calcium and folic acid targets today. Spinach is advised.

He lay on his back, knees pulled up, eyes closed, and just a hint of a smile touching the corners his mouth.They had opened a bottle of Chardonnay to enjoy with their cheese and crackers and now Lilly was sitting with her back against the trunk of the huge oak tree where they had spread their picnic blanket.
