“That’s quite a list.”
Kendra jumped at the sound of her friend’s voice. “Stacey! I didn’t see you standing there.”
“Throwing a party, Ken?”
“Yeah, of sorts, Stacey. Mark comes home from work tonight. He’s been on the platform for six weeks. God! I get so lonely when he’s gone. He treats me like a queen when he’s home. These are some of our special foods.”
“Geez, you’re blushing, Ken. It makes you look sweet. Have fun tonight.”

Lance and LeeRoy have chosen Peel Me a Grape as the song for this week. A number of Alaska’s oil workers are gone for weeks at a time – away from their families for 2 – 3 – even 6 weeks, then coming home for only a week or two. Some families survive very well. Others not so much. People do what they can do to survive.

I love the whole “secret life revealed in the real world” feel – hope it’s discovery didn’t ruin (or should I say “spoil?”) her evening!

I think the grocery list is her head she;s checking off isn’t food. You found the literal meaning of the song and ran with it. This was fun, sexy, and interesting. well done.
