Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1089

A moment later, Skye emerged with a pan-seared steak, looking rather disheveled.

Seeing Finley and Tegan, her mouth twitched. "Hey, why didn't you come help me? Look, my whole arm is covered in blisters from the oil."

Skye held out her arm for Tegan to see, and sure enough, it was dotted with red marks from splattering oil.

"I tried to help you before, but you said you didn't like how it tasted," Tegan reminded her gently. Skye had been here for several days, always insisting on cooking for herself because she was so picky about restaurant food.

When Tegan had heard the commotion from the kitchen in her apartment and tried to help, Skye had complained that she used too much rosemary on the steak, or the oil was wrong, or the heat wasn't right.

In short, Skye's own cooking was a disaster, but she was just as critical of everyone else's.

"That's true," Skye conceded.

Finley scoffed. "As if you're any better."

"I'm better than you, at least," Skye shot back.

"You're still single, and I'm the one who has to help you find a wife!" Finley fell silent.

Tegan shifted uncomfortably.

The comment hung in the air, creating a palpable awkwardness.

Tegan's face flushed slightly. "Come on, let's split this," Skye said, pulling Tegan away from Finley and dividing the steak onto a plate for her.

Tegan was genuinely hungry. She'd barely eaten a few bites before Uriah had shown up.

After taking a bite of Skye's cooking, Skye immediately asked, "So? What do you think?"

"It's delicious," Tegan said honestly. "I love the taste of rosemary."

"You like it, right? I'll give Finley the recipe later so he can make it for you from now on." Tegan's fork froze.

She glanced uncomfortably at Finley, who was getting a bottle of water from the fridge.

Ever since Skye had appeared, Tegan remembered, she had been calling her 'sister-in-law.'
