alcove

darling, pour me a cup of coffee, won't you?
where would you like it, sweetums?
oh, just set it in the little nook, thank you dear.
I love this little hideaway place, don't you?
oh yes. I'm so glad we got this cottage.
yes, it's small, but efficient, don't you think?
absolutely. but one must sacrifice, mustn't one?
indeed, my pet. sacrifice is, unfortunately, the way of the world.
so sad. can I have a crumb cake too?
certainly, darling.
