Ostentation 5

I don't recall how we got on the subject, but last week Riley informed me that he had a shitload of candles at home because his gf used to work at Illuminations (only my favorite candle store!) until fairly recently.

"You like the scented ones?" Asked Riley. "I'll bring you some!"

I thanked him but didn't take him seriously. Figured it was just one of those things that people say.

In fact i had forgotten all about the conversation when Riley brought me these today:

Pumpkin pie and Bordeaux. And, without consulting me, he proceeded to place them on the side table next to me, and lit the pumpkin pie.

I was speechless. Again, why people like me i will never know.
