Will

When Kara gets home from her day at the spa with Abbi my sister gives me a look that tells me without words that I’d better be on my game. I cock a brow at her and smirk; she knows me well enough to know that I'm always up for a challenge. Even though I'm not sure what the challenge is exactly.

"I'm going to head up and change into something more comfortable," Kara calls out over her shoulder as she makes her way upstairs.

My eyes flash to my sister. "What's with the look?"

"What look?" She pulls an innocent face.

I shake my head and begin to set the table. "You know what look. Don't be coy; it doesn't suit you."

Abbi walks over and helps me set the table and then lay the food out. "All I know, little brother, is that you’d better be ready for whatever comes your way. I have a feeling you've met your match with that one. Shy, sweet, and timid she may be. But beneath the surface, a ball of fire is waiting to be ignited."

The corner of my mouth pulls up. "Is that so?"

Abbi shoots me a mischievous grin. "Yes, it is. Careful, Will. That one might be more than you can handle when she realizes the power she wields over you."

"What power would that be?" I ask, more than a little curious as to what she's going to say.

"The power to bend but not break." With that, she turns her back to me and saunters out of the house.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Bend ... but not break? I shake my head as I continue scooping out pasta onto our plates and then grab two glasses that I fill with ice water to complete our dinner.

By the time Kara comes back downstairs, I'm already seated at the table and gesture for her to join me.

"This smells delicious." She grins, taking her seat across the table from me.

"Did you take your nausea medicine?"

"Yeah. I didn't want to get sick while I was out with Abbi. It made me a little sleepy, but I haven't felt sick all day."

"That's good to hear. We wouldn't want you becoming dehydrated."

"Oh no, I've been reading up on pregnancy and the symptoms I need to watch out for." She stabs her fork into her pasta and begins spinning it around, collecting a tiny ball of noodles around her fork before raising it to her mouth and moaning as she takes a bite.

Muriel's recipe for spaghetti and meatballs has become one of our favorite go-to comfort foods. If Kara isn't making it once a week, then I am.

Yes, even I've mastered spaghetti. Hell, I'd master anything to see that smile spread across her beautiful face. She absolutely loves it when I cook for her.

She sets the fork down and grabs her napkin to wipe the pasta sauce from the corner of her mouth. "This is so delicious. I love Muriel's spaghetti recipe. Thank you for making it. You did really good.
