Break

We sat in the front row, an empty pizza box at our feet, staring up at the unfinished tree. She started to stand, ready to face the long night ahead of us. "Nope. We're not going anywhere until until we've eaten this clementine," I said, digging my rusty pocket knife into the peel. It wasn't as though using my hands would have been any better -- they were both covered in paint, glue, sweat, and blood. She giggled, sat back down, and gladly accepted her half of the fruit. "Some people don't realize that a good break can be much more productive in the long run than a short break."
