"You should use another spatula," Iggy said matter-of-factly. Ella jumped, dropping an egg on the ground. It cracked and started too ooze around her feet. "And I thought I was the blind one," Iggy remarked.
"You scared me," Ella said, going back to her omelet.
"That spatula is too soft. It'll break. Here, take this one," he said, feeling around the kitchen utensils. He picked a big, flat black one and plucked the small, chunky red one Ella was holding.
He put his hands over hers and helped her flip the omelet. Of course, he couldn't see her blush. He let go and Ella was almost sad. "Didn't you have a broken rib?" Ella asked.
"Still do," Iggy said. He picked up a small bottle and shook it. "What's this?"
"Vanilla extract," Ella read.
"Can you find oregano and herbes de provençe? While you're at it, some dried basil would be good, too."
Ella picked out small bottles with dried herbs. Iggy took them from her, and sprinkled a bit of each on her omelet. He lowered the fire, and with an expert flip of the spatula, the omelet was transferred smoothly to a plate.
"Mmm. Smells good," Ella said.
"Of course, I made it," Iggy smirked.
"I can cook too!" Ella protested.
"Sure you can," he said.
"Let me make you something! What do you want?"
Iggy thought for a moment. "A fried egg, sunny-side up." Ella turned up the fire on the stove and replaced the pan. She poured a little bit of oil in and let it simmer.
She cracked an egg expertly, and Iggy heard the satisfying sizzle. He was following along what she was doing by hearing. A minute later, it was ready.
"Here you go," Ella said, sliding the plate over to Iggy. She leaned forward on the counter to see how he would react. Iggy cut the egg and tried it.
"It's really good," he said, digging in to it. This time, it wasn't just an empty compliment. Iggy couldn't get enough of what Ella made.
He might have heard her crack the egg and fry it, but he had no way of knowing that she'd shaped it into a heart.
