nephrite

she arrived from the studio baring gifts ...

... banana bread that she had lovingly baked for us... (“it’s the worst i’ve ever made ... it’s burnt!”) ... it was delicious of course ...

... some organic moisturizing cream which she had fashioned herself from purest ingredients ... she explained the process to me as i mixed her a drink ...

... and a cute little ‘low-maintenance’ plant for my otherwise lifeless basement apartment ... more precisely: a bamboo shoot, harvested from the plant in her own bedroom, sitting in a small, blue, water-filled Bombay Gin bottle ... the one we had drunk from on our first night together ...

... ah me!
