Garlic bread for breakfast, two takes.

Take One: "You are the only one I know who eats garlic bread for breakfast", he says to her.
"At least you know I'm not a vampire", she replies.

"I think that is a myth.  Nothing defeats a vampire except a plant."

"It's good to know the indestructible can be destructible".

Take Two: "You are the only one I know who eats garlic bread for breakfast", she says to him.
"At least you know I'm not a vampire", he replies.

"Yeah, a vampire would never cheat on me", she replies back.

He slams his hand on top of the wooden counter top. A stoppage of time precedes the battle that will ensue. That is when I notice the speaks of dust floating in the air. The Noon light exposed from the windows high above. Unmasking the shadows.  A barrage of words and anger flows from his lips.
