I am very glad that plants can’t talk… or walk away. I go outside to see what they are up to every day, multiple times a day. I question them about what their plans are for the day and ask if they could please grow faster. It’s just me thinking out loud because being in quarantine is making us all a little (VERY) restless. It’s not like I think they are going to talk back or will grow faster if I ask them to. But I do remember reading an article about how plants know when they are being eaten. That’s horrible. Does this mean they also know when they are being nagged? Today I think I will offer interesting facts instead. Something along the lines of… FACT: If you don’t grow faster you will go to the compost.

Suddenly her old flame, Finn Dorsey, is closer than ever, and their attraction is still white-hot. When a searing kiss reignites their passion, Liv realizes this rough-around-the-edges cop might be exactly what she needs…
Liv’s words cut off as Finn got closer. The man approaching was nothing like the boy she’d known. The bulky football muscles had streamlined into a harder, leaner package and the look in his deep green eyes held no trace of boyish innocence.
