Day 2 - A Freudian Slip

Khloe and Cass both spent most of the day checking on the news, browsing on their laptops, and talking to each other. When they woke up, they both didn’t bother coming to breakfast, so I cooked myself breakfast and did my chores around the shelter. When lunch came, Cass approached me in my room where I was reading and asked if I had anything to eat. I went to the fish farm and caught a fish and gut it and clean it. I steamed it and served it with a soy ginger sauce to Cass and Khloe who were both sitting in the dining area waiting expectantly.

“Adam, what the hell is this? Fish? You know Khloe, and I are both vegans.” Cassidy stammered.

“Are you? I thought you didn’t eat red meat.” I replied.

“No, that was a while ago. We’re both vegans now.” Cass said emphatically.

“Yeah, I’ll go check the pantry for some organic, locally sourced tofu Cass. Eat it, or don’t I don’t give a crap.”

“Adam, you’re such a neanderthal. We rather starve than eat murdered animals.” Cass brought hers and Khloe’s dishes to the trash bin and tossed the fish in. Cass stormed off after that. I sighed.

Khloe looked after Cass and then towards me and looked apologetic. “I’m sorry about that, sweetie.”

As the word left her mouth, she realized this and reddened. “I m-mean Adam.”

It could have been a slip-up, but it might have been the effects of the serum taking place.

I smiled. “It’s okay. Harmless mistake.”

Khloe flushed and left the dining room. Despite the tantrum Cass made, I was in a delightful mood. I walked towards the garbage bin where Cass threw the discarded food and took it out and placed it into the composting bin and went on my way.
