Meghan pushed her chocolate cheesecake across the table to me. I hadnโt gotten paid yet for November, so I had only ordered coffee. โHere,โ she said. โDonโt you want it?โ โSure I want it. I ordered it. But Iโm giving it to you.โ โWhy?โ Meghan stood up and got me a fork. โRemember what Nora said about love? In your movie?โ โLove is when you have a really amazing piece of cake, and itโs the very last piece, but you let him have it,โ I said. โSo itโs really amazing cake,โ said Meghan. โAnd I want you to have it.
