Tag-a-long Fruit...

She holds up a pair of brightly coloured fruit, though you can’t tell what they are.

“What? Feel like we should eat healthier?” You enquire. It wouldn’t hurt to get more fruits and veggies in your diet.

She seemed lost for words for a moment, opening and closing her mouth as she tried to find the best way to put whatever it was she had to say.

“You know what? This’ll sound crazy no matter how I word it, so I’m just gonna blurt it out. These fruit were given to me by someone claiming to be an ‘angel of love.’ They were apparently impressed with our short but blossoming love and decided to reward us with these fruit that will guarantee our love for one another forever. I was skeptical at first, but no one else seemed to be able to see her…him…whatever they were. They were beautiful, that’s all I can tell you. I tried to throw them away several times, but after a few steps they’d just appear back in one of my bags. I even tried to throw them away just before I got inside, but there they were in the fruit bowl. How that works, I have no idea…”

You stared at her for what seemed like hours, your expression blank.

“Now that you mention it, I don’t think I saw you put any of those away and neither did I…” A moment later, you lock eyes with her. “Maybe they are a divine gift…”

“Maybe…I’m going to eat mine and see what happens.” She says, bringing the fruit up to her mouth and takes a big bite offering you the other one. “Would…you like one too?”
