Title: Apples Rating: G Summary: A Balitang Sisters drabble for mistrali. Enjoy!
Sarai remembers Dove's blasé comments about romance, sharp between bites from atop the apple tree. She'd finish her handful of Granny Smiths and insist on bringing the cores inside to use for "fertilizer". Then Sarai would shoot back, "No plant could appreciate such sour soil, but I'm sure they are grateful for your thought." She'd pause and cock her head incredulously, pulling out a hairpin. "And I don't think it's possible for you to be romantic, is it?" "Romantic, no," Dove would say, tossing the last apple, hidden in her pocket, to the labourer by the orchard. "In love, yes."

Eee, thank you! That last sentence is so Dove. And of course she would give away her last apple.
