"Well, I want to ask you another favor."
"Take you away again?"
"No, we have been found once, so it wouldn't be easy to leave again. I… want to date you."
"Date me?" William is a bit surprised.
"I mean pretending to, not for real."
Karin is actually embarrassed to say it. It's quite too much to ask after all.
"Using me to irritate Troy, am I right?"
"You can totally say no. You have the right to do it."
William thinks for a while and nods, "Alright, I'll do it."
She doesn't expect him to agree so readily and she feels even more embarrassed.
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. I told you I would always do anything for you anytime you need."
"Why are you being so kind to me?"
"Because we are friends."
"Are you so kind to all your friends?"
"Basically."
Since he said it, she is relieved and feels less guilty.
"Stay for dinner tonight. I'll cook."
"You can cook?"
William smiles, "Don't underestimate me. I am not only good at work, but also at cooking. I'm a peerless man."
"Alright."
Karin nods, "If you insist."
They go grocery shopping together. After they come back, she tries to help, but he waves his hand, "It's okay, just wait for the food."
She pauses for a while and turns around to walk out of the kitchen.
How familiar it sounds. It seems that she has said the same thing to Troy, "Just wait for the food."
She walks around out of boredom and goes back to the kitchen. She stands beside the door and watches William chopping. His chopping skill is dizzying, cutting sharply and neatly.
