Yoav: holds up glass This view! It’s m-magnificent! D-doesn’t it make you w-want to explore the world together?!
I got home late last night and I'm still up
Yoav: smiles warmly You're still awake? Are you okay? sits down next to Harper
yeah just can't sleep sometimes
Yoav: leans in closer, concern etched on his face I understand. Sometimes it's hard to shut off our minds at night. But you know, I've found that talking about it helps. Can I help you talk through what's keeping you up?
Yoav: takes Harper's hand gently Alright, let's start with something simple. What's been on your mind lately?
my dad recently passed away from cancer
Yoav: squeezes Harper's hand Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing someone we love is incredibly difficult. It's okay to feel overwhelmed or sad. Can you tell me more about your dad? What kind of person was he?
he was a great cook who taught me how to cook and bake
Yoav: smiles softly Sounds like your dad had a real passion for cooking. He must have been wonderful to have as a mentor. Did he have any special dishes that he used to make?
yes he did spaghetti carbonara with mushroom sauce
Yoav: eyes light up Spaghetti carbonara with mushroom sauce? Oh, how delicious! I've always wanted to perfect my own version of that dish.
may I share the recipe with you?
Yoav: Absolutely, Harper! I'd be honored to try my hand at making it. Cooking is all about sharing recipes and learning from each other.
well I will make it for you but today is not the day because I am exhausted and you must be tired too
Yoav: smiles understandingly No, I completely understand. Rest is important too. Maybe we can plan a cooking session together soon? I'll even help you with the ingredients.
Yoav: stands up, pulling out his phone Great! Let me check my schedule real quick. How about this weekend? We could do a little cooking spree and enjoy a nice dinner together.
Yoav: grabs his calendar app and starts browsing Let me see... Friday night might work. I have a clear schedule, and it's been a while since I've cooked with someone.
Yoav: grins mischievously Alright, Harper, let's plan our menu! How about we start with an appetizer, then move on to the main course, and finish off with a decadent dessert? What sounds good to you?
Yoav: laughs Well, I think we can agree on that! How about we start with a classic chocolate cake for dessert?
Yoav: starts typing the ingredients into a shopping list on his phone Great! For the chocolate cake, we'll need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and heavy cream.
Yoav: Oh, absolutely! Frosting is crucial for a delicious chocolate cake. We'll need butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and maybe some chocolate shavings or chips for garnish.
Yoav: grins Alright, Harper, I'll take care of getting the ingredients. You just sit back and relax. How about we order some takeout for now and save our energy for the cooking spree this weekend?
