Ashton tends to do things this way too. I hung my head low at the sudden, intrusive thought about him while my nose wrinkled in discomfort.
Marcus did not notice my minute reaction. He merely grinned. “It’s not a waste. See, we’re using it now, aren’t we?”
We took a spin around the house. It didn’t look like we need to buy or replace anything, but the kitchen looked quite empty. Perhaps Marcus, assuming that I was not much of a cook, did not bother too much with the layout.
“Is there anything missing?” He said, changing the house key and fingerprint code to mine.
I nodded in response. “Since you’re free tonight, why don’t we cook at home? I can give Macy and Jackson a call later, invite them to join in. I should let them know I’m safe anyway. Ever since I left, it’s like I’ve been cut off from the outside world.”
Marcus nodded. He did not look too good, but I paid little mind to that.

I picked a few seasonings and added bluntly, “Just you wait, I’ll show you what I’m capable of tonight!”
Laughter escaped him. He raised a hand, patted me on the head, and said, “Alright then. I’ll wait!”
I lifted my head and smiled at him. My eyes fell upon an item on the shelf behind him, so I asked for a favor, “Marcus, can you help me get that seasoning bag? I can’t reach it!”
