Thorn: If you like to bake, of course you can do it with me! But if not . . . you can do whatever you want.

Play on the net. Go out in the sun. Take a nap on the couch. Anything that makes you happy.

Leif (thinking): This isn’t a test . . . you really want to know the truth. Which is that this kind of attention from you makes me happier than anything.

Leif: Thorn . . .

Leif (thinking): . . . but since your attention is going to be all tied up with the food, “playing on the net” comes in second.
