Jake holds down the toaster lever. "It's finicky."

"I don't care if it's toasted."

"It has to have melted butter and jam, or what's the point?"

"To quench hunger?"

"You don't enjoy food. I see the way you eat without tasting." He skillfully butters my toast, setting it on the table. "Good things come to those who wait."

I take a bite, keeping my eyes on his. Holy crow. So good. I don't know how he does it; he always knows what I need. Maybe he's right: good things come to those who wait. I wonder how long he'll wait.
