Muffins and More
Jacob came strolling in Rue's office door.
"Talked with Ronan. We are all set for the show.
I'm thinking I may grab another muffin
Though before I go."
"I'll take you there, my treat."
Rue thought she needed
to get my head straight
It would be quite a feat.
"So what's the deal with you
And Bella Fray?"
Jacob shrugs. "She's a beautiful
woman, what else can I say?"
"So that's all your interest extends?
You should know I believe
Her and the Deputy Brody
Maybe more than friends."
He looked at Rue.
"What about you,
You have someone at home?"
"Strangely at this time no.
You find me alone."
"That seems hard to believe.
But I'm all for taking advantage
Of certain opportunities."
"I didn't say there's no interest
or that I'm not interested as well.
I just at this moment find
I'm in a dry spell."
"Well then it would seem
I have excellent timing then."
Rue laughed. There went that
Wink and smile, again.
"That you do, I must say.
And since we only have
This moment in time.
I say we seize the day."
