"Hey. Can't go wrong with the basics," Steph said, hurrying over to lean against the counter across from her. "Anyway I'm kind of in the mood for something simple right now. Bonus points because it's from you."
"I would worry more about that if you hadn't made dinner so many times," Steph retorted cheerfully. "Besides, I have had the shittiest roadside rest stop pizza and anything is an improvement."
"And I mean, it's pizza. One of the fundamental foods," Steph declared. "Or it should be, anyway. What's not to love? You can literally get all your food groups piled on top of a single glorious piece of cheese-covered bread. And?"
She waggled her mostly-finished slice at Vi, grinning.
"You don't even need silverware to do it. Or a plate, even."
"I was hoping you would." No, Steph couldn't quite manage to keep her smile from turning goofy at the end there, as she took another slice out of the container and offered it to Vi with a flourish.
Then, a little more seriously, "I could honestly use the snuggle time. Today's field trip kind of creeped me out a little bit."
