A few days later, as she came in from a shopping trip, Julianna entered the kitchen to find a prepared meal ready for her on the table. This was fairly typical, he often cooked for her as a symbol of gratitude for letting him stay with her. Occasionally there was an apology dessert.
As she took the first bite, however, her gaze caught the corner of a note taped to the coffeemaker. Wiping her hand, she flicked the little yellow paper down and read its messy writing with a frown.
At the bar. Not sure when I'll be back.
Help yourself to dinner.
