A Touch of Lilt

Maybe she should get something for Keith.Julia thought about maybe a bottle of wine,but Keith didn’t really drink alcohol.A big pack of Lilt would go down better.Julia smiled.A six-pack of beer would be perfect for a celebratory day.Keith was happy with soda.


Strange addiction.But it was just something else that made Keith even sweeter.Julia did like the taste of pineapple.


“I fancy some pineapple as well.”Julia looked at her mother.“Can we see if there’s some pineapple ice cream?”


“Might be some sorbet,but…”Tahlia frowned.“I thought you didn’t like pineapple.”


“I’ve developed a taste for it lately.”


“Cookie dough and pineapple sorbet.That’s going to be interesting.”


“Won’t know until I try.”Julia rubbed her belly.She seemed to be doing a lot of that since she found out she was carrying a baby.“You never know,it might be nice.”


“I’ll leave that for you to find out.”
