Chapter 11

Dennis watched as his wife, Shana sat down beside the water fountain with a bottle of grapefruit juice and some water in hand. His heart swelled with admiration every time he saw her like this: her hair was messy with tangles and knots.

Shana noticed Dennis and gave him a small wave with the cup of grapefruit juice in her hand. Dennis quickly walked over to her and sat on the edge of the fountain next to her.

He took the cup from her hand and drank down all the contents of the orange juice bottle. It still hasn't been fully cooled yet. Dennis handed the half-empty juice bottle back to Shana and looked down at his feet. They both fell quiet and stared silently at the marble tiles in front of them. A minute later Shana spoke.

"Did you get the food?" she asked, a hint of humor laced in her tone. Dennis smirked slightly.

"Yeah, I got everything I asked for." He chuckled a little. They both smiled at each other. Then suddenly, Dennis started laughing lightly, followed shortly by Shana.
