Ooo – they look so delicious. If only she could sneak just one. No one would have to know that she was cheating on her diet. What harm would one little chocolate chip cookie do?
Her mouth watered thinking about the soft buttery flavor. Heavenly chocolate beckoned her, each chip melted to a sweet smoothness with its slightly rounded point.
Irresistible – her hand was inches away from the plate. Not a soul in the room. No one would know, fingertips barely touching the glass plate.
“Ellen, can you bring that plate of cookies out? Everyone is ready for desert.”
Ellen let out a soft sigh. “I got them.” Carefully, she lifted the plate off the counter. That was a close call. Her diet was safe for another day.
