It was only once she heard Fred's voice that Dinah realized that she should have brought food. When Jake had disappeared, Fred had shown up with enough comfort food to last a week. It wasn't that Dinah didn't care, but she'd been so wrapped up in dealing with the loss herself that she hadn't given enough thought to the fact that Fred had been even closer to Jesse and Annie than she had. Of course, that also made her realize that she should check on Zoe after this too.
"It's Dinah. I was hoping we could get ice cream or waffles. Or both. I also hoped that you could help me with something."
From what she knew about Fred, having a project might help with the grieving process. She wouldn't push if Fred didn't serm up to it, but she wanted to at least try.
