In My Desperate Time

Frances is back tonight.

I am cooking when he comes.

On these days without him at home, I have cooked a lot by myself.

Seeing what I am doing, Frances does not say anything to sit by the table.

He has a look at my phone when I am bringing some dish to the table.

I have not closed the webpage of the news on my phone; he smiled slightly to say, “You read my news.”

I don’t reply him, just rolling my eyes at him.

Everyone knows Frances is somebody who is always trending in the social media. I cannot ignore him in these news.

Then I tell him, “Since I read the big news of today, you are there.”

Frances keeps laughing, “Do you feel bad with it?”

He looks so happy to make fun of me.
