I finished up my shower and decided I wanted a snack. I slipped on my sweats and went up to the kitchen, found a copper pot, and added oil and the kernels. As I was getting butter out, I heard someone come into the kitchen. I turned around to see Nic ambling over.
“Aren’t you supposed to sleeping?” I asked.
“I could say the same to you.”
“Fair enough.” I popped the butter in the microwave and heard him pull out one of the stools to sit. We were both quiet for the time being. I pulled out a big bowl for the popcorn, and coated it in butter. I sat at one of the stool next to him and set the bowl between us. “Help yourself.”
“To the popcorn?” he asked with a smile.
“No, to the mound of bacon I set down next to you,” I quipped. His smile only grew.
“So why are you still up?”
“A lot on my mind,” I said as I tossed some popcorn in my mouth. “You?”
“Same. Cal is looking much better though, so that helps. I can never thank Cassidy enough for that.”
“Cassidy loves to help people, all she asks in return is appreciation. Don’t ever take her for granted and that is good enough for her.”
“What about what’s good enough for you?”
“Don’t take her for granted, show more appreciation than you think is acceptable, and don’t piss me off.”
He took a small handful of popcorn and nodded slightly.
“I feel like that last one is going to be a challenge,” he said thoughtfully.
I laughed and tossed some popcorn at him as he grinned.
