Eerie Indiana Drabble: Too Cute

[froodle]

"How do you know so much about ovens anyway?" Melanie grumbled. "You work at a sushi bar. Sushi doesn't even need cooking."

"No," said Janet. "But it does need a degree of patience, which is something I never thought applied to preheating an oven until I met you."

"Patience," said Melanie, in a tone of voice that made the unspoken "pffffft" extremely clear. "Ovens should just know how to be. I don't see you preheating a puffer fish before you cut him up."

"I'd never cut up a puffer fish," said Janet. "Ever seen one? Way too cute to eat."
