Chapter 24: The Table for Three

On Sunday at seven, the glass kitchen had a table in it.

It was a long oak table that did not belong there, set squarely where the empty floor had been.

Three chairs stood at it, and three plates, and a candle in a jar.

"There are only three chairs," I said.

"I only know three people," said Corin.

"You know a lot more than three."

"I know three I'd cook for."

He stood at the stove in an apron that said KISS THE COOK, which Wills had given him as a joke at the office.

He wore it.

The kitchen smelled of burnt garlic.

"What are we eating?" I asked.

"Pasta."

"What's the smoke?"

"The pasta."

I laughed so hard I had to hold on to the back of a chair.

Wills arrived at a quarter past with a bottle of grape soda and a loaf of bread from the dorm.

He put them on the table and stood looking at the whole thing with his hands on his hips.

"Dude," he said. "It's a real table."

"I'm told that's what they're called."

"You bought a table for us."

"I bought a table for dinner," Corin said, and turned his back to hide his ears, which had gone red.

We ate the pasta.

It was not good.

It was, in fact, a crime against the noodle.

Wills ate two helpings and said it was the best thing he'd ever tasted, which was how I knew he meant it.
