As I sat waiting for Kyle to arrive, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. We were about to embark on a culinary adventure, preparing the traditional Egyptian dish, Koshari, for our project. I had already gathered all the necessary ingredients - pasta, lentils, garlic, and the rest - and was eager to get started.
But as the minutes ticked by, Kyle's usual punctuality began to falter. I found myself glancing at the clock, wondering what was keeping him. To pass the time, I put on some Queen music, losing myself in the iconic melodies.
Just as I was starting to get concerned, I heard a knock at the door. "What took you so long?" I asked, a hint of worry creeping into my voice.
Kyle's response was nonchalant. "Don't worry about it, I just got caught up with some stuff at home. So, what do we need to get started?"
I gestured to the array of ingredients laid out before us. "I've got everything we need right here - pasta, lentils, garlic, and all the rest. Let's get cooking!"
As we began preparing the Koshari, I couldn't help but notice the transformation in Kyle. His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and his smile seemed more genuine than when he first arrived. I was drawn to his passion for cooking, and my curiosity got the better of me.
"You seem to really love cooking," I observed, trying to break the ice.
Kyle's face lit up with a warm smile. "I do. My mom and I used to cook together all the time. She made everything taste amazing."
I sensed a deep connection in his words and asked, "Do you still live with your mom?"
Kyle's expression turned melancholic, and his voice dropped to a whisper. "No, not really. I wish I still did, but she passed away when I was 10."
My heart went out to him, and I offered a sincere apology. "Oh, Kyle, I'm so sorry. That must have been really tough for you."
But Kyle brushed off my concern, his tone lightening. "Don't worry about it. Let's just focus on getting this cooking done."
The rest of our cooking session was done in relative silence, with only the sizzle of onions and the aroma of spices filling the air. I couldn't shake the feeling that I might have inadvertently offended him, and the tension lingered between us like a thin veil.
