I like waking up with him.

That sounds lonely.

Not in the least, actually.

Hmm. That's probably part of what makes you a good chef.

Actually I think it's my love for cooking, and my skills that make me a good chef.

Among other things.

Among other things?

Confidence, for one. I don't think an insecure person could do what you do.

A little yes and no. An insecure person could be a chef, sure, but couldn't run a kitchen.

That's why I specified 'do what you do.'

Being head chef is also where not caring what other people think comes in handy.

[Lila nodded, then looked past him.] You should care that I care that you're not cooking anything. You're going to force to me make toast.

Well, when you tell me that you're going to pass on breakfast, I normally take that to mean that you don't want any.

That shouldn't stop you from making something for yourself.

I'm still going to. Do you or don't you want anything?

[A thoughtful look crossed her face and she rocked on her feet before nodding.] Yes! I'll have something, too. Thanks.

What do you want?

Something bready?

You know, if you want toast, you can go and make toast.

Pancakes, muffins, pastries, waffles... Why don't I leave the menu to the good judgement of a fine chef?

You know that you just make it sound like you're trying to suck up to me, right?

Couldn't possibly be that I like your food?

Only a little.

[A slow smile spread over her lips and Lila stepped a little closer.] I really like your food.

[He looks down at her, smiling himself] I think you're a little biased.

What makes you think that? I've had a lot of world-class cuisine.
