Claire still wasn't in a good mood when she woke up so Alex decided to try making dinner. He had watched her do it enough times now that he thought it shouldn't be a problem.
He told her to go watch TV or something while he worked and she was skeptical. "Are you sure? You haven't ever cooked before, have you?"
"No but I know how to follow instructions. It can't be too difficult," he replied.
Claire seemed to know she wouldn't be able talk him out of it so she shrugged and told him to come get her if he needed help. Alex waited until he heard the sounds of the TV to get started. He had watched her make it before and it seemed fairly straightforward.
Alex filled a pot with water and turned the stove on as high as it would go. He added some salt like the instructions recommended and waited for it to boil. Once it was boiling he dumped in an entire box of spaghetti noodles.
