Love the Cook

Chapter Seven

I stand there, motionless staring into those blue eyes. It's like staring into a pond of water, seeing my reflection.

"It'll be okay, Love," I hear my husband's voice say gently. I nod, taking a deep breath even though I'm trembling slightly.

I sit down and stare at the food in front of me, "how did this get here," I ask Luke.

Luke grins, "I got it." I take a pair of chopsticks and begin to eat the rice. Suddenly, I feel a hand under my chin, and I see the man.

"It's time to get some answers," Officer Goldenheart says grinning, "Love, you go first."

"Who are you," I ask.

"Loyal Jake Goldenheart. I'm your twin brother, Love. Luke, your turn."

"Why have you suddenly appeared," Luke asks.

Loyal grins, "your wife came to me for answers."

"Why did you wait until six, so we could ask questions?"

My brother takes a spring roll and studies it, "because I could join you for dinner." I grit my teeth, and I know I would have yelled, instead I slam my fist onto the table. "I know you're upset, but-"

Luke growls, "next question?" Loyal nods, "where were you after your parents death?"

"I was with my girlfriend," Loyal spat.

"Karrie Draymen," Luke says slowly, "she is a regular at Love's. She always talks about you, Loyal."

Loyal turns away, "yeah, I thought she would." He pushes his chair back, "thanks for the food, now I must be going."

I got up and hug my twin brother, "see you soon," I type and Loyal nods. Just as he begins walking towards his car, he falls to the ground.
