All the talk of delicious food put a bit of a damper on Jake's enthusiasm as it reminded him how much he missed Charles. He tried not to let it show. It was strange to think of Charles being here; he couldn't decide if he wanted Charles to come because he missed him, or if it was better that Charles not be stuck in this strange alternate reality with him, but instead be safely back at home.
"Thanks for the recommendation," Jake said. "Trying everything sounds great, but for now..." He finally chose a couple of full-sized pastries to buy, and went to the cash register to pay for them.
