Joanna Lawrence was still feeling unsettled. After giving it some thought, she tossed her phone aside, hopped off the bed and trotted towards the kitchen.
As soon as she approached, she caught a whiff of a choking smoke.
She pushed the door open immediately. A billow of white smoke hit her in the face, making her cough uncontrollably.
"Cough, cough, Ashton Heath, what are you doing?" Joanna coughed until tears started rolling down her cheeks. Shielding her nose and mouth, she waved off the smoke and walked in. Once she spotted the two dark charred blobs sitting in the non-stick pan, she paused then asked with a twitching mouth corner, "What's in the pan?"
"Cough." Ashton too, was choked by the smoke. He coughed behind his hand. His thick brows furrowed as he stared at the dark blobs in the pan for a long while before finally uttering, "Steak."
Joanna's response was, "...steak?"
She couldn't help but her mouth corners twitch again, "Are you sure that's a steak in there?"
