A part of Cody demanded that he take his time doing the last of the dishes so that he could linger at the restaurant as long as possible but he knew that wasn't cool and he couldn't really be mad at his parents for the grounding. He definitely deserved it, even if he felt like 'forever' was a bit extreme. So he worked at his usual pace (also wouldn't do to have his boss mad at him for slacking off) and was just wrapping up when Adelaide came back in after all of her day-end tasks were completed.
He had no idea how she always talked the cooks into making her things that he was pretty sure weren't even on the menu but her energy and smile were infectious so Cody stuck with that as his leading theory. She made everyone around her happy and possibly inspired others to gift her with magical food. He didn't eat at the restaurant that often since most of his dads were amazing in the kitchen. It usually depended on if the one that was better at ordering out than cooking was in the kitchen that night or if something on the menu really called out to him.
Tonight, he had a burger on his break since they accidentally made an extra patty and it smelled so good. So he didn't have any food when he sat down in the break room with his friend but he had a bit of time to kill before being picked up and wanted to catch up. Sure, they went to the same school and sometimes texted but it wasn't the same as chatting in person and with a bit more freedom and with less random interruptions of other friends. He flopped into the chair across from Adelaide and then leaned over the table to sniff and inspect her salad. He wasn't a master in the kitchen just yet but he was pretty sure he recognised some of the spices and nodded in approval over what was legitimately her rabbit food. Cody wasn't picky when it came to food and proved it yet again as he swiped one of her cherry tomatoes and popped it in his mouth with a grin. "Anything new and exciting going on with you?"
