Chef-romance Quote by Grace Reilly
““Our knees brush underneath the bar. Mine, bare past the hem of my skirt, and his, clad in the ugly-hot pants all chefs seem to wear when they work. He runs his finger over the rim of my glass, smudging the coral pink lipstick stain on the rim. As I watch, he sticks his finger— along with the traces of my lipstick— into his mouth and sucks it clean. “Messy,” he chides.””
