Quot;I think it's beautiful," Canton said, a genuine smile gracing her lips.

"Thank you," Randi said quietly, somewhere inside understanding the deeper meaning of the assessment. She led them back to the kitchen. "Sit while I get dinner served up."

Switching their roles, Canton poured them both a glass of wine as Randi served dinner. The food smelled ridiculously good, making Canton's stomach growl. She knew had to make a mean lasagna, but by the smells of Randi's, it was blown clear out of the water! Randi got herself settled to Canton's left, making sure they both had everything they needed.

Quot;This looks absolutely amazing, Randi," Canton complimented, closing her eyes as she inhaled the fragrance of one of her favorite Italian dishes.

"I'm so glad," Randi smiled, placing her napkin on her lap as she buttered her piece of garlic bread. "I could live off Italian food quite nicely for the rest of my life. Oh, with a bit of mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie thrown in."

Canton grinned. "Interesting combination." They both began to eat until finally Canton spoke again. "So tell me: what's going on in the life of Randi."

"God, whatisn'tgoing on in the life of Randi?" the blonde smirked, taking a long sip of her wine before shoveling more food in her mouth. Once she had it swallowed, she sat back in her chair. "I don't' get to eat like this very often anymore. Honestly Canton, I don't know how the hell I did this when I was in college the first time."

Quot;It's called being eighteen years old with much more stamina," Canton chuckled, stabbing greens in her salad.

Randi laughed. "Amen! But, either way, I've taken on two classes - all I can handle right now - and am working about twenty-five hours at the coffee shop. Together, it leaves me with zero time for much else."
