Kapitel 19: Chapter 19

“You cook a lot?” I asked. Really I didn’t know much about this Theo. I just knew the one who had fucked me and then ignored me like I didn’t exist.

“I like to cook. Sometimes with my duty schedule, I don’t get a lot of time to do so.” Theo shrugged. “But for those times I do, I like to have a great space to cook in.”

I walked over to the back sliding doors and flipped the light switch, illuminating a redwood deck.

Theo slid the lock and then the door. “Come on. You can’t see too much in the dark, but you may as well get the full tour.”

The raised deck had a set of stairs leading down to the rest of the yard, which was lined with tall trees rather than a fence.

“This is awesome. You have, like, a little forest right there.”

Theo chuckled. “It is pretty cool. When the weather’s nice I like to go hiking because there’s a little path. Maybe we can go one day.”

Grimacing, I said, “I’m not much of an outdoorsman.”

“I’d take it easy on you.”
