he’d had an inkling that the book had been her mothers, as there had been tips and tricks written in the pages, and the handwriting certainly wasn’t willa’s, and it definitely wasn’t english. while he did know bits and pieces of the language before he’d met willa, she’d been teaching him phrases all through their relationship, and it was an enjoyable memory any time he tried to speak it, as both of them would end up in a fit of laughter.
“well i’m glad i found it. there are some recipes in here i would really enjoy making. especially around the holidays, it would be fun to try them out.” he smiles at her before grabbing a plate. “it’s not all as good as it looks, the shrimp is a little overdone, and i think the noodles are firmer than they should be, but the taste is there, and i think that’s what matters.”
he laughs at her reaction to the news, shaking his head. getting in touch with the publisher wasn’t difficult, as he’d reached out to rossi’s agent to see what they could do for him in terms of getting his word bound. he’d been hiding it from her for quite some time, and how he managed to keep it a secret was incredible, but he had managed to do it. “thank you. i just got the final manuscript yesterday, and they started printing it today.” spencer grins, beginning to serve the food in front of them to her. “what’s it about? oh, i’m so glad you asked.” he jokes, as they both knew she’d not said a word. “it’s kind of self-help book. but it’s not about just one subject. it’s how to navigate hardships and tragedies in your life, and how amazing the great moments are because of it. coming from an agent who’s been through it all i figured sharing my insights would be rather useful.” he explains, handing off a plate to her and making himself his own. “we could read through some of my favorite stories after dinner, and i don’t hope you have any other plans because you have no choice, you must read it.” he snickers, only to pick up his fork and begin to eat, despite the fact they both stood at the counter still. he’d been cooking for hours and finally got to taste the fruit of his labors.
“ she would be thrilled. ” ... she always wanted willa to do more cooking, she felt her mother be semi happy that she at least found someone else who was interested. though her mother had always been very traditional, very much so believed in the woman staying at home and the man working. willa likes to think that her mother would of learned to love the strong willed daughter that life had made, even if she wasn’t the stay at home mom. “ and i am thrilled to be able to eat some food that i remember from israel. ” or food that her mother used to make before she got so sick. much like willa, her father wasn’t much of a cook. when he was still himself, they ordered a lot of take out. after she died, that came to a stop as well though.
“ i was going to ask, but apparently you are to excited to let me! ” she smiled, that was hardly a bad thing. it was good to see him so happy about passionate about something. deep down willa had a feeling he had been searching for something like this. “ a self help book, oh i think that is just wonderful. ” it was not surprising to her either. of course he wanted to make something that would help people, he had such a big heart. it was one of the things she loved most about him.
“ i do not mind reading it, but you need to remember i cannot read as fast as you. ” she was plenty smart, extremely some would say. but, she wasn’t a genius like him. “ my brain is big, but not that big. ” she read pretty fast, but nothing like him. in fact, she read at an above average speed. still though, she has seem how he speeds through books, and she just can’t keep up. willa picked up her fork, taking a big bite and slowly chewing. “ mmm. ” she said through her chewing. “ very good, so good. ”
