You decide to go look through a cookbook to give yourself ideas on what to make. Geez, you feel like a wife. Wife Strider. You laugh quietly to yourself, as you flip through the pages of...the cookbook. You decide on something spicy, since it seemed like something he would like.  You fired up the stove and got some spices from the pantry, then put some meat on the stove and left it to cook for a little while so you could check on Jake.

His eyes go glassy and his face, previously pink, turned a shade of beet red that you had never seen before. He sprung up and chucked the book across the room, yelling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!!"

He looked at you guiltily, as you examined the book he had handed you. It was the first book in the Love Stage!! series, and where the page was folded, it seemed he had gotten through most of it. It was..an interesting thing to see him with, but kinda cool in a way. "So," You say, as he looks up at you with his guilty puppy dog eyes, 

"Did you like it?"
