Snippet:
“Ms. Audria?”
“Please, just Audria.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Oh, man, did he just call her ma’am? He scratched at his temple and rubbed a thumb along the corner of his lip. His mind emptied. Um. Um. And Audria wasn’t talking either.
Maybe this whole thing would crash and burn before it began.
“Look, Quinton.” Her voice shook and then steadied. “Really, thank you for calling, but–“
“Let’s just talk.” Where did those words come from? Wherever they’d come from, he was thankful.
“Ok.” She paused. “I’m not sure what to talk about.”
“Macarons?”
“Huh?” She giggled. That was a good sign.
“You make amazing macarons.” Wow, what an idiot thing to say. But true. Of all the ways to start a conversation…geez.
“Well, um, thank you.” Another giggle. “I can give you the recipe?”
A quick frustrated whisper sounded on the line. Quinton squinted as if it helped him hear better. Audria offered a muffled apology to the voice.
“Is this an ok time to talk?”
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry. It’s just my friend. She seems to be way too interested in our conversation and feels macaron recipes isn’t a suitable topic.”
“Oh.” Guess her friend had a point.
“I’m dropping her off at her house now. Bye, Nora.” The low, frustrated, whispered grumble returned. “Bye. See you later. Bye for real, Nora.” The grumble continued but faded. Audria must be driving away.
Quinton laughed. “Sounds like you and I both have people spying in on us.”
