Slicing the tomato released that sweet acidic aroma into the air
Tearing basil and sprinkling the shreds on that red bed
Adding pulled apart chunks of fresh mozzarella

Reaching out Gary said, “You made it for me honey? Thank you so much.”
Yielding to his husband, John waved him off. “Of course Gary,” he said.
