It's a hike up the stairs. He's got a tote over one shoulder sagging with ingredients; beef, buns, toppings, and what's left of a bag of crinkle cut fries. He doesn't know what Emily has on-hand, but he's happy to provide extra. Cooking for others makes him feel useful. A remnant of all his aunts shuffling him into the kitchen when he was younger, their leathery hands showing him how to slice and knead. If he did well, they'd always talked over rather than at him in the kitchen, satisfying both his mother's requirement that he socialized and his own requirement that he remain as inconspicuous as possible. He wonders if Emily would want that sometime, a lesson where he guided her hands and showed her through smell and texture how to do well. It might be too intrusive an offer, he considers; he decides not to ask.
He's a little winded when he reaches the landing and knocks on the door. He needs exercise. Winter has him hiding out more than usual; he gets cold too easily. "Em, it's me," he calls. There's the soft hum of a television on inside, but no crying child. That's good.
