We were at the breakfast table, I enjoyed the sight of Roxanne, eagerly digging into a stack of pancakes. I love a woman who has hearty appetites, for food, and for hot sex.
“These are so good, you make the best pancakes I’ve ever tasted. How do you make them so delicious?”
“My mother showed me how. She would never be caught dead using some ready to make pancake mix. She showed me how to use the right amounts of floor, eggs and milk, to whip them up so there would be no lumpy batter, how hot the griddle needed to be, and timing it exactly to a nice golden brown.”
“You learned well Dennis. Not just a fantastic lover, he knows how to cook!”
Roxanne giggled, a pleasant happy sound. I had missed that, being in a marriage that was nothing more than cold civility.
Roxanne said softly, “Well, I have today off so I’m going to go shopping for some things I think you’ll like.”
“And I have to go into work today, but I booked off the rest of the days that we’ll have, so we can be together.”
