She tasted the pasta I made and looked at me.
“Something's missing.”
I reached for the salt.
“More seasoning?”
She shook her head.
“More heat.”
I grabbed the chili flakes.
“This much?”
She smiled.
“Not that kind of heat.”
I paused.
“Then what kind?”
She leaned back in her chair.
“The kind that makes dinner more interesting.”
I looked at the pasta.
“I'm starting to think we're not talking about dinner anymore.”
She laughed.
“Maybe you're finally catching on.”
I put the chili flakes down.
“So what exactly are you suggesting?”
She took another bite.
“I'm suggesting you stop hiding behind the recipe.”
“That's a dangerous thing to say to someone holding a wooden spoon.”
She smiled.
“I'm not worried.”
“You should be.”
“Why?”
“Because now I'm curious what you think is missing.”
She leaned toward me.
“Confidence.”
I laughed.
“You think my cooking needs confidence?”
“Your cooking is fine.”
“Then what needs confidence?”
She picked up her glass.
“You.”
I smiled.
“That's a very complicated recipe.”
She laughed.
“Good. I wasn't looking for something simple.”
