Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat." Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?" "I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied. Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby.

Her patience was running thin. swnövels Taking a deep breath, she realized he probably wasn't coming back.
