Maine glanced nervously at the clock on the kitchen wall for the third time in the past ten minutes. Leo wasn't usually late. In fact, he was probably the most punctual person Maine knew. But given his job and the incident at Diagon Alley a few days ago, it had probably held him up. Sighing, she continued to flip though the pages of the cookbook, pausing briefly at a particularly interesting recipe.
Maine looked up as she heard the door swing open and turned towards the source of the sound. It was Leo. Seeing the stack of papers under his arm, she stifled a giggle and turned back towards the book. More beef and chicken recipes. She'd never really found meat all that fascinating, really. But making Leo suffer just because she couldn't eat any did seem rather unfair.
Turning to face her fiancee, Maine smiled and kissed his cheek. "Welcome home," she said as Leo leaned against the counter. "How was your day, love?" His job could be rather stressful, and although Maine had loved her time there, a desk job just didn't become her.
Laughing, Maine shook her head. "Never. But I was thinking that making you embrace vegetarianism would be unfair." Hence her flipping though the meat section of her cookbook. She could always just boil some pasta for herself if she was particularly hungry. Otherwise, she'd simply take a salad.
"Adapting a recipe would be fun," she shrugged. "But I don't think I know meat well enough to do that just yet." She might get Gabi to be her lab rat and test all her experiments and such. But not just yet. First, she needed to learn how to cook meat. Merlin only knew how her maman had survived this. |
