Patterson walks to where I'm standing as we're passed our drinks and then we take the cart with us as we walk down the aisles of food."I feel better already," he says, looking over at me and taking a drink. "So, what's your late-night guilty pleasure?"I watch as he grabs a box of double-stuffed Or
God, she's beautiful. I watch her as she stares at the candy display and the cashier scans my groceries. When her pink tongue peeks out I reach over and purposely brush my arm against hers. She doesn't pull away from me as I grab the candy bar she's been eyeing the whole time."For the car ride," I
