Chapter Eighty-Nine: Don’t trust the cobbler

Tillie

Scott sat at the head of the table with mom off to the side of him. He was trying to hold back a grimace as he looked down at the peach cobbler on the plate in front of him. A scoop of ice cream was melting into the desert but he still hadn’t touched it.

“Honey, eat your cobbler before the ice cream melts.” Mom said and I watched him swallow hard before he nodded, picking up his fork.

Jason and Travis had cleared our plates away when my parents had come into the dining room. Mom had brought the cobbler, with Scott walking behind her like he was headed to a funeral with the blue and silver dessert plates held in one arm and the vanilla ice cream in the other.

My mates sat looking at their dessert as well. Travis had a strange expression on his face as he looked between me and Scott, trying to figure out what was going on. He watched Scott take a bit of his before picking up his fork and digging in.

“Oh, hey, this is good.” He said before scooping more of the gooey peach mixture onto his fork and taking another big bite.

Scott and I shared a look as he slowly chewed the bite that was in his mouth. Mom reached over, swatting his shoulder. “You are going to make Tillie’s mates think that I don’t know how to cook.”

“Think?” He asked and she smacked his arm again.

“It’s delicious, ma’am.” Gideon said, his soft voice rising as he cleared his plate of the cobbler.
