“Sorry,” Mitch said with a shrug. “I seem to have worked up an appetite.”

Kade chuckled and sprang off the bed, reaching out a hand to Mitch and pulling him

to his feet. “Me too. Come on, it’s your turn to cook.”

“Seriously?” Kade stared at the plate Mitch had put before him.

“Hey,” Mitch said, his tone affronted. “You told me to make you my specialty.”

“True,” Kade replied with a wry smile. “But I was expecting your specialty to be

something a little more exotic than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.”

“I never said I could cook.” Mitch grinned around a mouthful of said peanut butter

and jelly. “Sometimes I forget to eat more than once a day, so be grateful you get to taste this

fine cuisine.”

“Then I am definitely in charge of dinner.” Kade picked up one half of his sandwich

and bit into it. A myriad of childhood memories, not all of them pleasant, whizzed around his

brain clamoring for attention, as the tang of the nut wrestled with the sweet grape of the jelly,

fighting for dominance on his tongue. Kade closed his eyes and rolled the bite of sandwich

around his mouth, savoring every chew in quiet ecstasy. At least he thought he was quiet—

apparently not, if the tease in Mitch’s voice was anything to go by.

“Um… Kade, do you need me to leave you two alone?”

Kade grinned, vaguely aware that he probably had peanut butter stained teeth. “I’d

forgotten how good this tasted. My mom used to make them for me, when she was—” He

snapped his lips shut and turned his attention to his sandwich. What the hell was he doing?

He’d been on the verge of spilling his guts to Mitch. He didn’t do that. Had never done that.

Not even Gustav knew the whole story. He felt the weight of Mitch’s gaze on him and

swallowed. “So what do we do now?”

“Well I go back to the workshop and finish that cradle. You have the run of the

house,” Mitch said, around mouthfuls of sandwich. “Movies are in the cabinet under the TV.

Books are in the bookcase. I’m afraid you’ll have to entertain yourself. I’ve already lost over

an hour.” Kade chuckled as Mitch tried to sound put out, but the sternness of his tone was

belied by the gleam in his golden-brown eyes.

“No problem.” Kade popped the last bite of his sandwich into his mouth and stretched

his arms over his head, groaning as his shoulder popped loudly in the kitchen, echoing around

the room.

“Wow, I heard that,” Mitch said, concern suddenly washing over his face at Kade’s

wince. “Are you okay?”
