With a pack of bacon, half a bag of wilted spinach, and a can of white beans, Parker got to work. He moved with grace and ease in the kitchen, a dish towel slung over his shoulder like a real chef. The smell of sizzling bacon lured Ophelia from her bedroom. She came downstairs, sniffing the air like a dog.

“Hey, Parker!” she said with more excitement in her voice than she had ever addressed me with. She clapped him on the shoulder. “Are you banging my mom again?”

“Ophelia!” I hissed.

Parker turned away from the stove and caught Ophelia in a light headlock. She laughed as she tried to wrestle out of it, but he held fast. Finally, he let her weasel away.

“I’m just cooking dinner,” he told Ophelia, wiping his hands and getting back to the pasta. “Helping out. You know.”

Ophelia sat at the island counter next to me. Her phone was nowhere in sight. “You should come over more often. Mom’s cooking sucks. Also, she misses you.”

I lightly smacked Ophelia on the back of the head. “Shh!”

A slight smile lifted Parker’s lips, but he didn’t respond.
