Scandalized

by Ivy Owens

I love you. —E. For the first time in days, I feel like I can pull in a deep breath. Eden has set out a bowl of leftovers on the kitchen counter with pointedly obvious instructions. Step 1: Place bowl in microwave. Step 2: Heat for two minutes. Step 3: Carefully remove bowl from microwave. Step 4: Get a fork. Step 5: Use fork to put food in your mouth. Step 6: Repeat step 5 until the bowl is empty.

This is my best friend.
