She kicked him out saying that she had to go over some things with me so her brother-in-law left and she asked me to stay. She was depressed because s...e was by herself and wanted someone to keep her company, I asked her if she was hungry and told her that I am a pretty good cook and if she would like for me to make dinner at her place. Vera was excited please do that would be great so I went to the market and got some supplies. By the time that I got back to Vera's apartment she had freshened.
