Love will be the Death of you

Chapter 1



Signe quietly looked around the kitchen for the paring knife. She looked in the drawers and the cupboards, but she couldn't find it. Finally, she looked in the microwave, and there it lay, sitting there. "Sheesh" she muttered to herself angrily as she picked it up and started paring the apple peel off the apple. As she took a bite, she realized how lonely she was since her mother died and how forgetful she was becoming.

A small tear fell down her cheek, and fell onto the ground. "God," she muttered again, "I'm turning into such a softy." Walking across the kitchen floor, she grabbed a small plate she had put on the table earlier

(When did I put that there?)

and placed the apple on it. It rolled off onto the ground, and hit the floor with a thunk.

"Damn it," she cursed under her breath. But before she could go pick it up, the telephone rang loudly on the desk.

"Hello?" Signe quietly said as she answered the phone.

"Signe? Hey, how are ya?" a loud and high-pitched voice said to her.

"Oh, hi, Candra," she answered as she leaned against the wall and played with the telephone cord with her fingers. "What's up with you?"

"Well, I just wanted to know when you wanted to come pick us up tonight for the concert."

"Oh yeah, the concert. Um, how about 5?"

"Sure!" Candra said. Suddenly, she started laughing.

"Uh, what are you laughing about?" Signe asked curiously.

"Oh, it's just that Chris's over, and he won't stop tickling me..."

Candra suddenly let out a loud squeal as Chris tickled her again, and Signe had to pull the phone away from her ear because the laughter was so loud.

(Will those two ever stop?)

"I gotta go now," Signe said loudly. Those two always seemed to be doing something.

"What? What was that?"

"I said, I have to go now!" she yelled into the phone so that Candra could hear her.

"Oh, yeah, I guess so, we gotta get ready-" (followed by another round of giggles) "Chris, shut up, will ya?! Anyway, pick us up soon, okay Sig? Oh, and don't forget... introduce us to Daniel and Darren!"

"Yeah, that I'll do. Bye now," Signe sighed, but Candra didn't hear her over she giggles she was producing. Hanging up the phone slowly, she walked over to the apple that had fallen on the ground, picked it up, and threw it in the garbage.
