Clementine's POV:

Walter: Hey kids. Settling in well enough?

Walter stops steering the food.

Me: Yeah, thanks.

Walter: Excellent. Want to help me prepare a little dinner?

Me and (Y/N) look at the food as Walter starts steering it again.

Walter: So how do you two know Kenny? He and Sarita have been a huge help. Matthew and I barely knew what to do around here the first week.

Me: We're... old friends. We met him after it happened.

Walter: When he was with Lee? Yeah, he only told us a little.

We both start feeling sad at the thought of Lee.

(Y/N): I'm going to wait for dinner.

Me: Okay.

(Y/N) walks away and sit by the fireplace.

Walter: Connecting with people is so important. I don't know what I'd do without Matthew.

He starts putting salt into the food.

Walter: Gosh, you remind me of my students. I can't imagine what it's like growing up in the middle of all this.

Me: It hasn't been easy.

Walter: I can't imagine. It's hard enough as an adult.

I look over at (Y/N) who looks pretty sad.

Walter: You've got a crush on him don't you?

I look at him.

Me: What?

Walter: I used to teach students, I know when someone has a little crush. I believe he likes you back as well.

Me: No.

Walter: You'll have to ask him or let him ask you to find out then.

He then takes a quick taste of the food.

Walter: Hmm. Almost done. Would you do me the honor of tasting the first course, madam?

I look at the food.

Me: What is this?

Walter: Le Walter Surprise. An autumnal legume salad with a peach roux.

I look at him confused.

Walter: It's peaches and beans. It's all we've got.

He picks up a can.

Walter: Huh. Striking resemblance.

He shows me a can that had the same girl on it that Alvin showed me in the station.

Walter: Anyway, I'll take it from here.

Walter starts humming and takes the beans/peaches over to prepare. I start walking around checking around the cabin. I walk over to talk to (Y/N), as Sarita and Sarah are making up the Christmas tree.

Me: Hey, (Y/N)?

I sit down next to him.

(Y/N): Yes, Clem?
