One Last Chance

Going through a long day, keeping the entire household in check, Annabele Blue finds herself whipping up something quick for dinner. While mumbling her bottled-up emotion, the counter is messed up with three plates lined up, all with healthy but delicious produce of zucchini, tomatoes, a ball of mozzarella, and a freshly baked sourdough. She can’t fit in to spend painstaking hours of chopping, baking, and waiting due to a tummy rumbling strongly. Although it’s not enough to fill in her cravings, Annabele settles for a simple vegetable sandwich.\n \nWhile the blonde homemaker is busy preparing the veggies, a jacked and handsome Ebony, Mannie Coco, comes to check on her. Starting with a fitness topic, the conversation seems to go downhill upon breaking the news that this tall stud is about to head to Los Angeles. Disappointment crawled inside Annabele, recalling all the memories they spent and lost about a future without Mannie. She may have an ongoing partner, but it is already approaching the end of its chapter. Considering the situation, the chocolate jock lights up in joy, thinking of making the most of the chance for the last time.\n \nAlthough words aren’t heard to confirm, Annabele understands what Mannie is trying to express. Both are lost in their own world, savoring the warmth of each other’s company. Things won’t be the same tomorrow, so it’s their one last opportunity to create an imprint that they can carry for a long time. With that, Annabele settles on top of the wooden counter while Mannie stands tall in front of her, exchanging dialogue through their eyes. The future might be unpredictable for the tattooed chick, but regret won’t ever bother her because of the risk she has taken. Looking at the bright side, at the very least, Annabele had spent a wondrous final day with someone dear to her.
