"Eric just moved to Pensacola. He is 38."

"What is he doing in Pensacola?" Brian asked. "I mean, isn't that a military base or something like that?"

"I'm not exactly sure what he is doing." Sasha went on to explain. "He does some sort of consulting. He was in Colorado before this. I don't know for sure what it entails."

"Is he married?" Hannah asked.

Sasha shook her head. "No. Eric has never gotten married." Her hands had become numb to the pain she was inflicting. She tried to press deeper but felt nothing. She scraped her nails over the indentations and felt a slight stinging sensation as the feeling began to return to her hands.

"Aren't you going to eat your taco Sasha? They're really good!" Tyler proclaimed.

"They are really good aren't they?" Brian agreed helping himself to another. "Sasha will have to teach me how she does the shells."

"Definitely!" Hannah said nodding her head enthusiastically.

Sasha brought on of her hands back up to the table and picked up her taco. 'At least I didn't draw blood.' She thought silently. "I'm glad you guys liked the way I fixed the tacos! I was afraid you weren't going to like the shells there for a few minutes."

"They are kinda greasy, but I like it!" Tyler laughed.

"I try to drain them but they do get greasy!" Sasha agreed, wrinkling her nose. "I tried basting them with oil and then baking them once. I wound up with nacho chips instead!"

"Nachos would be good!" Tyler declared.

"Maybe next time." Brian said.

"Cool!"

"I don't know about you guys, but I am getting pretty full!" Sasha stated setting down the last piece of her taco."

"Me too!" Brian agreed.

"Me 3!" Tyler added.

"Me 4!" Hannah said, not wanting to be left out.

"Thanks for cooking dinner Sasha. I really appreciated it."

"It was fun to cook for more than just myself! I should be thanking you!"

"Why don't you and the kids go watch a movie and I will clean up the kitchen?"

"I'll clean up the kitchen. You go watch a movie!" Sasha replied.

Brian rolled his eyes. "We'll compromise. Let's ALL clean up the kitchen and then we will watch a movie. Deal?"

"Deal!" Sasha nodded.
