Chapter 7 Kitchen Helper

"Thanks for inviting us for dinner, Becca." Sam said, chopping onions for their salad.
"You're welcome. I remember the dorm's fend-for-yourself-Sunday-supper policy." Becca was stirring the spaghetti. She glanced up, seeing the tears leaking from Sam's eyes. "Y'don't know the secret to chopping onions without crying?"
"No."
"Put the chopping board in the sink and run cold water over the onion," Becca instructed. "Cut the onion in half, newly-exposed side touching the board, then chop quickly, lengthwise and cross-wise." She grinned. "Can't have your new girlfriend—Angela?—thinking you're helpless in the kitchen."
"ZACH!" Dean would've instantly recognized Sam's tone.
