What are you doing? Jack asked as he wandered into the kitchen. I'm cleaning out the refrigerator, she answered. I'm going to stop bringing food into this house-we let too much go to waste. She heard David start to stir and lifted her head like a doe smelling a hunter. I'll get him, Jack said. He's heavy. Okay. I'll get his breakfast ready. Would you like me to make you an omelet or something? How old are the eggs? he asked. Hmm, she said, looking. I don't think they're deadly yet. I think I'll pass, thanks. Coward. David
Jack entered the kitchen and found her cleaning out the refrigerator, expressing her intention to stop buying food to reduce waste. As she heard David stirring, she felt alert and anxious, aware that her attention was needed. Jack offered to take care of David, who was getting heavier, while she prepared breakfast.
She suggested making him an omelet but Jack hesitated, questioning the freshness of the eggs. She playfully reassured him that they were still safe but he declined, calling him a coward for his reluctance. The exchange highlights their dynamic as they manage household responsibilities and make light of their daily challenges.
