When I went to eat, I braced myself for the nauseating feeling to take over at the first bite,

instead I was surprised it was rather subdued, I could actually taste the food.

“You know, you made enough food for four people?” I asked. Carter chuckled.

“Like I said, I don’t cook often, so if I’m going to cook, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy it to the

point of putting myself in a food coma. I eat a lot anyway, I have a fast metabolism,” he

elaborated.

He popped open a couple of beers and passed me one before sitting down. He went straight

for the salad and groaned.

“That’s some good shit, you cook a lot or something?” he asked.

I shook my head no. “I haven’t had a reason to in a while. Mama always cooked from scratch;

had me canning in the kitchen with her since I was little.”

“Where did you grow up?”

“Kentucky, good ole Appalachia, poor and simple living.”

“Some people think that’s the best kind.”

“The best,” I agreed, a pang of sadness washing over me. “I was a bit of a wild child, I didn’t

conform, gave my mama more grey hairs than she cared to have. She blamed Uncle Jake, of

course,”

“Ya know, Jake never mentioned you.”
