“Nope. Not really.”
She thought of her unemployment, the years of quarrel and her god-forsaken country where divorce was a crime.
“Shall I peel the skin? It would taste better, I think.” She gave herself a last chance.
“No. An apple’s skin has the most nutrients.”
She looked blank for a minute. Then, she took the first bite.
This is in response to Carrot Ranch’s word prompt.
