Time for Pie!

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was determined not to mess this up the way she'd missed her training time with Marc today. She still couldn't believe she'd completely slept through her alarm! But now she had to get things ready to bake pies with the Detective. She had a couple of different options ready for them to try - all vegan, of course, since she assumed he was making them for Steven.

All that was necessary was for the Detective to arrive.

"I've had- a number of poor experiences with meat-based products over the last few years," Watts admitted. "I do not particularly miss it."

Nell nodded. "I can understand that."

She couldn't help but think, though, that if he'd been eating her meat based dishes that he might indeed be missing it now.

"When the pies are done in the oven they should be left to cool at room temperature for half an hour or so and then refrigerated for several hours, or better yet, overnight. You did a good job with them, Detective, and I think you'll do an even better job tomorrow."

Perhaps. But Jack had also been an excellent cook, and- well.

The less said about that, the better.

"It was thanks to your guidance," he pointed out. "I appreciate the confidence."

A story which Nell, no doubt, did not need to know in any case.

"I was happy to help," she said. "You have a fine attention to details, Detective." Except when entering a building and depositing his hat and picking on her plants without noticing, of course.
