He's doing much better making pancakes from scratch than she ever did-- there was a time when everything they had was more or less instant food. She'd like to hear more of the stories of when the boys were boys and of how they grew up. If mornings always looked a lot more like John making breakfast, there's a part of her that thinks she could get used to it. There is little question that their free time has been hard to get used to, but as long as he is in the picture, that's all that matters.
Good answer. Flesh and bone as well as the stool are all that is keeping her from feeling like her knees could buckle any second or that she could be goo on the floor.
She has a few ideas of what it must have been like for him when she wasn't around, but there's a can of worms where the question of his happiness lies. At the very least she's glad she's around to be apart of it. She smiles for his honesty, even chuckles. "There's more cars than there are people living here. If you have a time in mind, I'd like to join you." And if he knows her, and there's not doubt he does, she would like to be spared from participating in fishing.
"I can't see anything you're doing wrong." From the pancakes to waking her up to eat with him. Maybe she'd suggest a pre-stuffed turkey ready to throw in the oven though.
