After a few conversations, Steve had bonded with her friend. In a way. Enough that Steve had given her his own number so they could keep in touch while Kate slept. They’d chatted a little. He wouldn’t go so far as to say they were friends, but by a long shot, but they were friendly and he’d taken her advice every step of the way.
“There is. But I was thinking I’d try my hand at it.” He couldn’t promise better. He couldn’t even promise good. But he could manage not to poison her and it had to be the thought that counted. He’d done a little practice and it was far from impressive. It was just him doing his best. “I’ll keep the delivery as backup. Do you feel up to coming to sit out in the kitchen?”
Under any other circumstances, he’d object to the very idea of anyone eating in his bed. But these weren’t average circumstances and in this case, he’d prefer her to stay just where she was if she had even a sliver too little strength. He wouldn’t ask her to push herself for something so small.
