Barba reached for his food, stuffing a handful of fries in his mouth with abandon, and cheerfully ignored Jamie's giggle at the sight. And then when Toffee was staring at him he gently nudged him to encourage him to eat the still-hot food, and began to work on his cheesesteak as Jamie started a conversation.
"This is all from the Hot n Ready diner on -- Avenue and 6th, the one where we used to go sometimes after we'd all had a long night or a hard week. Master Erik always said we could stuff ourselves stupid as long as we could stay awake for the walk home, and then curl up and nap after. It was great," Jamie said warmly, reminiscing. "And the apartment for the first internship and then the ADA position, the one we stayed in until we moved here--oh my gosh, Toffee, it was so tiny and cramped. We shoved a twin and two queens together and would huddle, and in the winter it was so poorly heated there would be frost on the inside of the windowsill in the morning. It was awful, but cheap, and right where we needed to be to get to everything."
