Prompt: 067. cheese and crackers<\/h1>\n

1. Lounging on the couch with a plate of cheese and crackers.<\/h2>\n

A. Lounging on the couch with a plate of cheese and crackers, she finally felt the tension in her shoulders releasing. There was a bottle of wine and a half-filled glass on the coffee table. It was a relaxing night in, something she needed after a terrible week at work.<\/p>\n

Zoe sighed and relaxed further into the couch, wriggling her toes against the cushion. She figured it was going to be a night in with the three episodes of the show she’d been saving on the DVR.<\/p>\n

She was just reaching for the remote control when there was a knock at the door.<\/p>\n

2. “The food at this party is disgusting. All I’ve eaten is the cheese and crackers. I didn’t trust anything else.”<\/h2>\n

A. “The food at this party is disgusting. All I’ve eaten is the cheese and crackers. I didn’t trust anything else.”<\/p>\n

She’d held her tongue through everything else, but she’d finally had enough. “Yeah, I guess they didn’t lay out any food for bitches.”<\/p>\n

“What did you say?”<\/p>\n

“Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to any bitches that felt like they were too good for the food my brother is providing them.”<\/p>\n

\n

3. The code phrase “I hope you like cheese and crackers” was harder to work into conversation than expected.<\/h2>\n

A. The code phrase “I hope you like cheese and crackers<\/em>” was harder to work into conversation than expected. Especially as they’d run into each other in a public restroom.<\/p>\n

There’d been some awkward maneuvering around the sink before he’d finally just given up on subtlety and leaned in close to the other guy. “Man, this event is kind of a drag. When they sent out the invites, they should have included a postscript that said something like ‘I hope you like cheese and crackers, because that’s all we serve.'”<\/p>\n
