Instead of answering the daily prompt with personal stuff; I’m gonna work the prompt into my story. Hope you enjoy.
Leftovers
Dillon helped Evie and Della pack up the leftovers for Pastor Sam. He had a brief conversation in the corner with a plain dressed man.
Dillon stopped as the lights of a car blinked, “did you get a new car?”
“Used.” She smiled. “Yes. It was Pastor Sam’s wife Sue’s car.”
“I figured he would have gotten rid of that years ago.”
“Said he didn’t have the heart.”
“I think you may have started something.” Dillon smiled.
She blushed, “and what would that be lawman?”
“The man I was speaking to in the corner was the department therapist. He liked this. Said it was good to see everyone laughing together. While he realizes it is impossible to have civilians knowing department business, it was an added benefit that they were present.”
“Something good happening because of something bad.” She teased, “and you didn’t want me to do it.”
“I will defer to your judgment.” He was all smiles.
“How about we meet in the middle? I always want to know the when and why’s.”
Dillon was shocked, “really?”
“Yes really. I’m not that arrogant to think I know everything. Your thoughts, input is always important.”
He was floored. “I will keep that in mind.”
“You’d better, lawman.” She smiled.
He pulled her into a kiss before asking, “so does this mean you and Pastor Sam have made peace?”
“Yes. I let Satan get in my head. He’s good at that. It still may take me awhile before I go to church. That wound is still fresh.” She gently touched his arm where he had gotten shot.
“It’s okay. It was mostly a flesh wound.”
“Mostly a flesh wound?”
“I’ll show you tonight.” He smiled.
“Speaking of tonight, what would you like to do?”
“I don’t get a lot of leisure time. Not sure I’ma gonna know how to act.”
“How about we make pizza? You can check out some board games I have and we’ll take it from there?”
He kissed her again, “sounds like a plan.”
and you can trash the above comment too from the same place if you don’t want that in your comments section.

My comment is gone. the other one is still there. Try unapproving it and then spamming if that’s what you’re trying to do

Okay, thank you. Learn something new everyday. You would have made a great teacher.
Honestly, I don’t mind the rambling as long as they don’t get vulgar. Do what you want on your on page.

Utahan writes some good poetry. Sometimes its raw. In your face. Lots of unleashed emotion. Not some word choices that I would use. Each poet to their own.
But thank you for the tip. I didn’t know how to do that.
