❝𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 with the same story to tell. Carmen-a restaurant owner who dealing with the death of his brother among a lot of other issues. Maria-an art teacher who's has a lot on her plate. While Carmen had a temper, Maria had to deal with temper tantrums. Both dealing with the loss of a close friend and a relative.
Maria knew Mikey had a brother, she met his sister Sugar once. She was nice, helpful too. Marie didn't know Carmen, he didn't show up at the funeral with the rest of the family.
Carmen knew of Maria, every chance his brother got he talked about her. He even talked about her dead husband, 'that fucker didn't know what he was missing' it was obvious he had a small crush on the woman. he described her in the way that she was art, and how he expressed art was through food.
'skin of the riches caramel, the expensive shit. her eyes are like her kisses, when you see them over time they can melt like chocolate in the sun.'
she's a lava cake. rich and chocolate on the inside with a goo-y center that'll make you want more. ❞
