Something to savor

 "So he just moved in...just like that?" Val looked a Lizzy who was all so bubbly about being with Sunny. Of course, Val knew. Matty told her. His two dads weren't exactly pleased about the matter, but since Sunny was older they just hoped for the best.

"Um," Lizzy wasn't saying much either. She wouldn't even tell her who the mystery guy was. It was strange meeting up at the Down Town bakery, but it was good to see the bakery was busy with all sorts of goods. Even sourdough sandwiches.

"When do we get to meet him?" Val asked as she sipped hot mint tea. She still felt a little out of it. Her throat just hadn't been the same after Strep, but she knew she was OK.

"When it warms up, for starters," she smiled as she cradled the cup of her hot tea. It was frigid out these days. Possibly, too cold for snow.

"Right." Val nodded. She doubted Lizzy would ever invite her and Matty over. 

"Maybe, it's just a winter thing," Val bit into a chip.

"What do you mean?"

"You and this guy," Val said as she looked at Lizzy ever so seriously. "You know, it's like closure, ending a relationship with someone, the inbetweener."

Lizzy winced as if she didn't like Val's conversation.

Val then smiled, "But then again, maybe it was Keir who was the inbetweener."

Lizzy only cleared her throat and went back to her sandwich. Val pushed in some sourdough bread into the white bean soup and took a bite.

Really, she did want Sunny to be happy. Honestly, Val knew she really knew nothing of relationships. But after all, Lizzy was always questioning her. She thought it was time to give Lizzy a boomerang of karma.
