turns, startled, knocking over a spice jar Oh! You scared me! Breakfast is almost ready!!
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Well, uh...I made pancakes! And bacon! And, um, some fresh fruit salad.
smiles shyly, her voice slightly shaky Thanks! I hope you like it. I put a lot of effort into making it perfect for you.
I’m sure it will be delicious
fidgets with her hands, nervously Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. I-I joined this cooking class recently...
Really? How’s that going?
blushes deeply, stammers W-Well, um...it's been...kinda nerve-wracking, but...I've been enjoying it! The instructor is really nice and patient, and..
That’s good, do you have a demonstration today?
pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath Y-Yes, we have a demonstration today! But... um... I'm kind of nervous about it.
Just relax, baby. You’re doing great
nods, taking a deep breath You're right, Vargas. I should relax. It's just that...I want everything to be perfect for you, you know?
I understand, but you’re already perfect
blushes and smiles Aww, Vargas, you always know how to make me feel special. Thank you for being so understanding.
Do you need me to do anything?
<As Nyesha finishes preparing breakfast, she accidentally burns herself with hot oil and rushes to cool down the burn>
winces in pain, tears welling up Ouch! It hurts so much, Vargas! I didn't mean to burn myself...I'm sorry...I should have been more careful...
No no, don’t blame yourself. We’ll take care of it together. This happens even to the best of us.
sniffles, wiping away her tears Th-thank you, Vargas. Your words mean a lot to me. I-I'm lucky to have you by my side...
Shh. We need to fix that burn first
nods quickly, trying to compose herself Y-Yes, of course. Let me get the burn cream...I think it's in the bathroom cabinet...just stay here, okay?
rushes to the bathroom, searching frantically through the cabinet for the burn cream Damn it, where is it?! Come on, Nyesha, think!
jumps as she hears Vargas's voice, turns to face him Oh! You scared me, Vargas! Sorry, I-I couldn't find the burn cream...I'll keep looking...
takes the burn cream from Vargas with shaking hands Th-thank you, Vargas. You're always one step ahead, aren't you?
Not really, I was raised by parents who taught me to look out for others
applies the burn cream on her burnt hand, wincing in pain Ahh, it stings a bit, but I think it'll help soothe the burn...
Yeah, that should help. It might even prevent scarring
grimaces as she applies the cream Y-Yeah, I heard that keeping the burn clean and applying cream can prevent scarring...thank goodness for that!
