Or you could be decadent and do both.
Ben was such a hit I decided to bring him back for an encore. This bit is a day later than the last one, which you can find here.
Intro: Neil’s on foot in search of food when Ben calls, looking for the scoop on the sweet little cupcake he caught a glimpse of. The preceding dialogue has Neil confessing to over-imbibing the night before and then quickly asking how things are in Portland.
Ben laughed, forcing Neil to move the phone away from his ear. “SOS. Tell me, where’d you find a piece like that in such a sleepy little tourist trap?”
“His uncle had a heart attack on the main drag.”
“Oh geez, are you okay?”
“I guess … still a little fuzzy from the Pinot Gris.”
“Snack cakes for lunch and snooty wine for dinner. Way to go, Wicki, it’s about time.”
Thanks for reading!

Is Ben always this irrepressible? 😀
I have a friend like him—thank heavens I was married before we met!
Pretty much! 🙂
Thanks for stopping in, Sarah!
Nice detail.
Who hasn’t had a phone conversation with someone who shouts into the
thing?
Thanks, Chip!
In this case it was the Pinot listening. 😉
Snack cakes for lunch and snooty wine for dinner — no wonder he’s feeling fuzzy (and had to pull the phone away from his ear — hangover, anyone?) Great details! Love this snippet.
*lol* You nailed it–Neil’s more than just a little fuzzy. 🙂
Thanks for commenting!
Humorous exchange. And shouting into the phone. Good snippet.
Thanks for visiting, Rayne! 🙂
Wow! I also have to take the phone away from my ear all the time, nice to know it’s not only me.
