Love at first bite

Her mouth pursed by a scaffolding of deep set wrinkles she looked on in wide-eyed stupefaction as I spooned another helping of warm sticky porridge into my mouth. Her attempt at subtle reprobation was upset every so often by a wet cluck.

Her well-brushed hair tickled the portal to the fourth dimension.

I dug deep into my porridge, unearthing a hemispherical hunk of moulded oats before crucnhing on a slice of apple. The scaffolding fell back into place.
