Part 824: Morgan B

Ah, there you are. Come here, Morgan.

Mmm? Did you need me for something?

You said you wanted to taste my cooking, right? Well, now's your chance. I just finished making something.

You did? Just for me? Gosh, I'm flattered!

Not for you! I was just bored. I decided to cook on a lark.

...Here. Try this stew.

Whoa, it looks amazing. Pretty, too! The red tomato base is balanced by the green beans and the orange carrots.

Less talking, more chewing!

Ah, right... mmm... Wow, it's delicious! But...

...But?!

I feel like it's missing something.

What? Did I leave out a spice?

No, it's not that... It's missing... Hmm, what is it missing? I can't quite put a finger on it.

Are you sure you even know what you're talking about?

Er, I guess not? But it really was good! I mean it! I know it sounds like I'm nitpicking, but that really wasn't my intent.

You can't just tell someone their amazing stew is missing something and not say what!

...I wish I knew.

Argh! You are so frustrating me right now!

I know, I'm sorry! ...Maybe it's fine. I could just be feeling weird.

Regardless, I'm impressed. I didn't think you'd be much of a cook. I mean, you seem like more of the spoiled-princess type, you know? But a hearty stew full of fish and veggies feels like classic home cooking.

Th-that's enough commentary!

But the fact that you didn't contradict me means you agree, right?

Shut it! Just finish your stew and get out of here!

Okay, I'm leaving right now! I promise! .....

Um, but can I get seconds for the road? I'm really hungry.

Whatever! Just, out! Now!
