Sugar

Hailee's View

Y/n's been spending a lot of time at my house so I can help her because the fingers on her dominant hand are broken.

"I feel like such a freeloader watching you do this." Y/n says as I turn the stove down.

I laugh and Y/n smiles.

"Well, taste this and let me know what you think." I say, putting the pot on the counter.

I grab a spoon and hand it to Y/n. Y/n dips the spoon in the sauce and blows before tasting it.

"Did you add... sugar?" Y/n asks.

"Just a little." I say.

"Clearly." Y/n says as I laugh.

"Add more if you want." I say.

"I will." Y/n says.

I chuckle and turn around to stir the noodles.

"How much sugar are you adding?" I ask.

"You ever made a big pitcher of sweet tea, but the southern way?" She asks.

"No way!" I say as she laughs.

"I'm kidding... kidding... kinda." She says.

I shake my head and turn around. She stirs the pot with the wooden spoon and gestures toward it.

I sigh and grab a spoon. I taste the sauce and stare at her. My eyes start to water and she laughs.

"I think you added salt instead of sugar." I say.

"What?!" She asks.

I hand her a spoon and she tastes it. She chokes and I laugh.

"It's fine, I've done it number times." I say.

"Really?" She asks.

"Yeah." I say.

"Maybe you should get some labels." She says.

I laugh and she smiles.

"It's fine, I'll just peel a potato and put it in - simmer for like 20 minutes." I say.

"Won't it taste like... potato." Y/n asks.

"Hey, we love potatoes in all forms in this household!" I say.
