She's my taste tester
I was walking up to the porch when I started to smell something delicious, actually it smelled like a restaurant, I could smell apple pie baking, potatoes being fried, gravy of some sort and "Steak?" I said outloud to myself.
I unlocked the door quietly as I stepped inside to hear Sara on the phone talking to her mom, "Yea come over and eat dinner with us, fried potatoes, steak, gravy and for dessert a fresh baked apple pie." She was quiet for a minute, "Dad doesn't even know yet, Leonard's idea, he bought the stuff, I'm just helping him cook everything." She said.
Sara was still chatting away when Leonard yelled "She's my taste tester!" loud enough that Dinah would be able to hear him, "Okay mom, see you then." Sara said before I heard the phone beep signaling that she had hung up.
From where the kids couldn't see me I watched them work together on dinner, "Turn back on the music since you're done talking on th-" before Leonard could finish his sentence Sara was already on a chair standing, turning on the radio that was on top of the refrigerator, Destiny's Child came on as the static faded.
Sara was singing along like she always did with Laurel when they would be doing dishes after dinner each night, "Come on Len, dance with me!" She said as she grabbed his shoulder trying to get him to dance, she continued to sing the lyrics of No no no, "You go ahead, I'll watch." He said turning around to watch her, "Suit yourself." She said as she started back singing and dancing around the kitchen, the way Leonard stood back and watched reminded me of when I used to watch Dinah dance, before I loosened up and actually accepted her offer one day.
I was watching the two dance around, cook, sing, it was adorable, but I heard a knock at the door that they clearly didn't hear, so I got the door, it was Dinah, I let her in but I shushed her and led her to where I was watching them earlier.
When we seen the two singing and goofing off while they were setting the table she sighed, but it wasn't a sad sigh, "They look just like us." She whispered to me and I nodded, "Should we let them know we're here since they look like they're about done with dinner?" She nudged my arm, "I suppose we should." I replied as I waved her in front of me and into the kitchen.
A slow song came on as we were about to announce ourselves when Sara grabbed Leonards hands, I grabbed Dinah keeping her from walking forward as Sara put her arms around Leonard's neck, "Dinah watch." I urged her as she smiled at me, "Want to dance Quintin?" She asked just as I noticed what song was playing, the same song that was playing the night we met, "I'd love to." I replied as I grabbed her hand and started to dance with her, to the same song we played at our wedding.
