"C'mon, don't be a pussy and eat it!" Graham said as he pointed at Evan's towering pile of apple pie.
"Alright, alright. Don't have an aneurism!" Evan joked as he started on his pie. "Mmm. This pie is great! How did your mom learn to cook and bake this well?"
"I dunno," Graham blurted with a mouth full of pie. "I guess you learn a thing or two when you've made a zillion meals for the entirety of your adulthood."
-----
The two heavy teens finished their slice of pie and made idle chitchat for the next 10 minutes until Karen came in again.
"Alright Graham, you've got to get in the shower now." She said. Graham rolled his eyes and left the room. Evan was about to follow until- "Wait Evan, there's no rush." She said. "Stay awhile. We've probably never had more than a few wholesome conversations in all the years that I've known you for."
"That's true..." Evan replied somewhat nervously.
"Don't worry, I don't bite! Karen said. She headed for the pantry. "Would you like a slice of cake? I know for sure that you'd enjoy it."
Evan clutched his belly under the table. He was filled with hearty food, but he just couldn't refuse a slice of cake. "I'd love a slice." He replied.
Karen grined and plopped a huge slice of pound cake on Evan's plate. "Eat up!" She said cheerfully.
Evan smiled and tucked into the fattening sweet.
"So Evan, how're you getting along with everyone; what do you think of everyone?" She asked while sitting in the chair across from the gorging boy.
Evan swallowed a huge mouthful of cake. "Uh, Graham's pretty cool, although he's kind of cranky today. Natalie's pretty cute. And Erin's, uh, she's alright."
"And how about me?"
"You're uh, uh, you're... hospitable!" He said.
Karen giggled. "Well, that's a good adjective!"
Evan smiled and nodded as he continued to demolish the cake.
"How have you liked my cooking?"
"Oh, it's fantastic! I never get this much food at home!"
Karen smiled sweetly. "Evan, sometimes we deserve to spoil ourselves and each other. You're a very fun one to spoil, that's certain!"
"Do you ever spoil yourself?"
"Uh, what?" She replied, off guard.
"Do you, like, ever indulge on your own food or something like that?
