“Is this blue fish?” Car asked. “I love blue fish.” On the plate was rice pilaf and glazed carrots mixed with pieces of cauliflower. There was also a green salad and a small loaf of hot bread. There was also a ramekin of almond butter.


“Yup. Blue fish. Had it flown in from Boston just for you.”

“Is there ginger in this?” I asked.


“Good taste buds, Chris. I think we’re going to get along real fine. You wouldn’t be a chocolate fan, would you?”


“That’s my downfall,” I admitted.
