Just Us Box Set

I was in the middle of cooking breakfast for a customer when I noticed him. Naturally, Hortencia had to let the world know Lud was here to see me. “Deke, you have a visitor,” she said, voice pitched louder than normal.


“I’m busy,” I replied. I wasn’t lying. I had an egg, cheese, turkey ham, and onion omelet cooking. It was the last meal on my order list before I clocked out.


“He says he’ll gladly wait,” she said in a singsong voice, and I wanted to smack my head with the spatula. Hers, too.


I finished the omelet and added the sides before setting it outside the window. “Order up!” I yelled, then took off my apron.


One of the morning cooks, Lavita, smiled and winked at me as I left. “Go on and get your man, honey.” Gossip ran like hot oil in this place.


I pretended not to see Hortencia grinning from ear to ear and focused on Lud, wearing a long-sleeved purple T-shirt and crisp jeans. He smelled wonderful, goddammit.


“Buy you breakfast?” he asked and handed me a white rose.
