Suddenly

The preparation of fried chicken proved to be unexpectedly labor-intensive. My involvement was limited to seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, and flour, while Rico was responsible for the more demanding tasks of monitoring and turning the chicken. An effective method for seasoning fried chicken involves marinating it in buttermilk and spices overnight, which enhances both the flavor and tenderness of the meat, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful dish.

The quality of the drumsticks surpassed expectations.

However, the cleanup process was less satisfactory, although it was manageable with assistance from Rico, who undertook the majority of the work. Rico consumed most of the chicken and was pleased with the outcome, as he maintains a waist size of 28, in contrast to my own, which has regrettably reached the 30s at this age.

He expressed a desire to repeat the process, but I have insisted that it not become a weekly or even a monthly occurrence due to the significant physical effort required afterward to burn off the calories in my case.

​That was something we laughed about and soon forgot.

There is likely no optimal approach to caring for a married man who is already married. How does one justify causing harm to someone they do not know? Despite my desire for him to leave, he does not leave or return to full-time to his wife. A part of me wants to reject him, but something prevents me from doing so because the friendship is more important than the other needs.

How can my actions be considered sinful when I am not woman, when I appreciate the way he expresses pleasure, and he makes me feel so wonderful? I thought adultery only applied to different sexes and not same-sex individuals?
