"Yeah," Quentin stepped out of the elevator. "But I don't need to lift a finger. They've got enough trouble on their hands right now. Today..."
He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed Chloe hadn't followed him out. He looked back at her. "What's wrong?"
Chloe had just been blindly following Quentin the whole way, only now realizing this wasn't her floor.
"I'm on the wrong floor."
Quentin said calmly, "Didn't you say you were going to treat me to a meal?"
"Right now?"
"Yeah." Quentin pushed his door open and pulled out a brand-new pair of pink slippers. "I already bought the groceries."
"Are you sure?" Chloe paused. "Did you forget how terrible my cooking is?"

She had followed a recipe to make a bunch of dishes and excitedly brought them to the Sterling Interpretation Institute to share with everyone.

While she was lost in thought, Quentin's voice broke the silence.
"I actually think your cooking is pretty good."
"You're brave." Chloe gave him a thumbs up. "If you dare to eat it, I dare to cook it!"
Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, her wrist was gently caught.
"You sit and rest. I'll prep the food, you just stand by and teach me."
Chloe paused. "But aren't I supposed to be treating you..."
