You really didn’t have to

I couldn’t let my partner in crime starve, even if it was just for a night, could I?

Seriously though, was the carbonara a good choice? We never got to talk about that earlier, and if you want something else, I can always get that to you

If my mother were here she’d throw away the pasta the moment it hit the doorstep. Too many carbs. Too many unhealthy fats. Too many this, that, and whatever-the-fuck.

Andi

It’s fucking perfect

You’re my hero

Beck

Hell yeah, I am

Do you need anything else from this hero of yours? Eli is giving me nasty looks, we’re supposed to be doing a re-do of our movie night ritual, and we’ve got a no-phones rule

Go enjoy your movie

Thanks for checking on me

And for the pasta

Anytime

Actually, I do have one request

Anything, Starlight

Starlight?

Gotta practice our cute nicknames before the big date tomorrow, right?

Uh huh, yeah, sure

What was your request? Just tell me and I’ll make it happen

I don’t want Stuart babysitting any of our future outings

He did it. Without question.

He got me food, too. Without me even having to ask.

A girl could get used to this, even if it’s just a fake arrangement.

At least, that’s what I tell myself as I shovel the best carbonara pasta I’ve ever tasted in my entire life down my throat before curling into bed and promptly passing out.
