This was nice. Being sure of something was really nice. In the midst of all the chaos of the past few months, and the fact that he was about to graduate high school looming over his head, Sam was relieved to be feeling like himself again. The fact that he was getting a date with a really pretty girl in the bargain was an added perk, to be sure. He wanted to be sure that their evening went off without a hitch, but he wasn't too stressed about it. His mother had taught him everything he knew about cooking, and while he wasn't nearly as passionate about it as she was, he was passable in the kitchen. He had to be when she worked late nights. He and his older brother had grown sick of canned soup and mac and cheese ages ago. As soon as they were old enough to hold a knife and know better than to hurt themselves, they'd been enrolled in Mrs. Monroe's private cooking school.
But he wasn't making anything fancy. Just a salad of mixed greens, raspberries and goat cheese with some herb-rubbed chicken and pasta in a cream sauce. Alright. So kind of fancy for a high school boy. But it hadn't taken him long to prepare, and by the time the chicken was ready for the broiler, and the sauce was on the back burner with the cover on and the heat off, he had just enough time to run over to the Bailey residence and pick up his date. He brushed off any crumbs, slipped on some sneakers and hurried the short walk (as if anything on the island was a long walk from point A to point B) to pick up Mia. He knocked on the door and stuffed his hands into his jean pockets to keep from fidgeting impatiently.
