THE FISHERMAN'S PIER
"She really is adorable," Maggie
says as Victoria coos happily at her. "How old is she?"
"She'll be eleven months this month,"
Sarah says. She reaches out and strokes her daughter's cheek with a finger,
which Victoria moves to grab. Sarah lets her take it, and Andy and Maggie
watch the little show in comfortable silence.
Sarah looks around the restaurant
yet again. "I'd like to know where Matt got to."
"Do you want me to go check the men's
room?" Andy offers.
"Actually, that may not be such a
bad idea. I wonder--"
Sarah's wondering is cut off as she
sees Matt approaching. Maggie and Andy see it, too, and the three of them
share a confused look as Matt comes over to the table, carrying a plate
and wearing an apron.
"I brought out an appetizer," he
says.
"What'd you do, steal it from another
table?" Sarah asks, half-laughing.
"Actually, I made it."
"What?" She waits for him to drop
the joke and chuckle, but he does no such thing.
Her face twisted with confusion,
she asks, "You just barged into the kitchen and made your own food? That's
not really the point of this whole restaurant thing--"
"I just thought your dad could use
some help back there. So I'm gonna be doin' a little cooking tonight."
"You can cook?"
"Indeed I can," he says. He addresses
Andy and Maggie as well as Sarah as he adds, "So I guess I'm not gonna
be eating with you guys tonight. Sorry about that."
Andy says with a brush of the hand:
"Don't worry about it."
Sarah is still staring at Matt incredulously.
"You cook?"
"Yeah," he says, leaning down and
giving Victoria a kiss on the head, "I cook. And I'll see ya later, okay?"
Sarah just nods and he heads off
again.
She looks back to Andy and Maggie.
"What just happened?"
"I think Matt just threw you a little
bit of a curve ball," Maggie says.
"I think so, too," Sarah agrees,
shaking her head. She watches Matt head back into the kitchen. So what
else don't I know about you, Matt Gray?
