Freshly ground pepper

"...so, what's this new girl like?"
"She's like freshly ground pepper. She goes with everything, makes everything tastier, spices up life in an instant."
"You and your metaphors..."
"You can laugh all you want, but I can't help it, she's just great!"
"You say this about each of them."
"And I truly believe it each time. It keeps me going, couldn't do without believing it's true. Every single time."
"I guess you do. Come to think of it, I envy you a little."
"...so you should!"

We both laughed. The coffee cups were almost empty.

Cool
