Jesse nearly jumped a mile when Bart ninja attack hugged her, and she knew he was trying to be helpful, but his words were kind of like a smack to the face, but one that woke you up.
Because really no one had said that to her. Her mother had been absolutely no help whatsoever, and she knew that even though they were divorced her attitude came from an angry grieving place... But in response Jesse had just ignored everyone and thrown herself into her work.
She was quiet for a long moment as she began to plate up chocolate chip pancakes because really she didn't have any idea what to say to that. "Thank you, Bart." She said, putting whip cream on each large stack of pancakes, strategically moving her head so she could sniff and take a deep breath without his notice.
"Sit." She said motioning to the stool at the island in her kitchen. "Chambers family recipe."
More like the Quick family recipe. Her dad and she had eaten a lot of pancakes.
