Skylar took out some baked beans from the fridge. “What’s wrong with that? You should have told me earlier. I didn’t have time to come back and cook.”
Tobias put down his cutlery and sighed, his appetite long gone.
Seeing how reluctant he was to eat the pasta, Skylar put the baked beans away and took out two eggs and a bell pepper. “I can make you an omelet if you want.”
“I had some eggs from breakfast,” Tobias said.
“No one’s stopping you from having another one at night.”
“I’m getting old. I need to watch my cholesterol level.”
Skylar burst out laughing. What am I supposed to say? ‘No! You’re not old!’?
She put the eggs back into the fridge and rummaged around for ideas.
“Grilled chicken?”
“No.”
“Fish stew?”
“Don’t like it.”
“BBQ ribs?”
“Doesn’t sound very appetizing.”
Skylar hissed in exasperation and slammed the fridge door shut.
She tossed a bottle of water at him. “You’re having water for dinner then!”
Tobias grinned. I like how she’s showing her true colors in front of me. Things won’t be so boring with her around.
To Skylar’s surprise, Tobias downed the bottle of water and called it a day.
