[The smile helps a little. It shows Eddie really is okay with this. Rey pushes away the guilty feeling, but she still wants to do something for him. To do more than simply say, 'thank you' to him and to Cisco.]

I know, I know. You and Cisco did this because you wanted to. Cisco also said it was part of a holiday back home for the two of you.

[The squeeze to her shoulder is encouraging, bringing down her anxiety a little.]

No, no it's nothing to apologize for. It's remarkable really. I didn't think one person could make this much food. [And she knows he more than likely put a lot of time into this...even more of a reason to say thank you to him in giving him something.] I'm not familiar with it, but I'm sure it'll taste delicious. Better than what I've been trying to make. [Ramen, anything instant really. Something she bought with her money because she's earned it.

This? Can she say she's earned a fraction of his kindness? Kindness isn't earned, it's given freely. It has no conditions. Her mind whispered, causing Rey to clench her hands and then flex them. She was over thinking things. ]

I'll take any recommendations from you. I don't know where to start...and really, it looks too good to eat.
