Burnie smiled at the compliment. He did enjoy grilling and enjoyed seeing people enjoy his work. He was also glad Gabby hadn't wound up married. It probably would have been to his roommate and that would have been ...awkward.

"In engineering there have been jokes about how it may be the only way some of us had any prayer of ever being married," he reported. "But for the most part everyone is trying to pretend it never happened."
