Linnea did not think for a moment that there was anything unusual about wanting to show Bradley how to cook something. The fact that he was a professional chef who could cook circles around her was completely true, but it slipped right out of her mind. It was not that she was spacey at all. It was more that some things just were not quite as important. Pride happened to be one of those things because her own pride was so damaged. Not that she would say that out loud. Especially not around Kajsa; her daughter had her pride in things just like Bradley did his cooking. Though a little punch to it might be necessary now that she had said that.
"Film and theater are two different things," Linnea pointed out, looking down at her plate. "It's just something that I've enjoyed since I was little." When she had been really young she had bragged to her brothers that she was going to be a famous theater actress one day. Well, that definitely had not happened. Though her acting skills came in handy almost every day of her life. Without them she never would have made it this long without everyone knowing the truth about her and Jokull's relationship. "Community plays, nothing more, just the sort of thing a house-wife can do in her spare time."
Again, Kajsa rolled her eyes. "She's very good, always gets the lead when she tries out. You should come to the next one she has! Now there's my best idea ever." She is trying to kill me. Linnea's face was deepening in color steadily and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
