Peach Pound Cake

From the August edition of my column at The Arc:

Did you make that pound cake?” Noah asked. “If we were married I’d be so fat.”

Noah and I had never discussed marriage. In fact, we had never discussed anything. He was the new waiter, I was the Pastry Chef, Peach Pound Cake was the Special. And since I already had a husband and I’d been up since 3 AM I just raised my eyebrows, and nodded.

Noah looked worried by my silence. “That probably sounded weird.” He stammered, I smiled: “I didn’t mean…I’m sorry…I just meant it was really good.”

“I know what you meant. Would you like another piece?”

“Yes, thank you.” And he held out his plate.
