Karen had mostly showed up to take advantage of the video games, but when she saw Chuck, she decided he had a much better idea. She sat down next to him, legs folded underneath, and held her hand out for the fork.
The pie was pretty much a mess of filling and crust, since Chuck hadn't bothered with cutting slices. He paused his game for a second and passed it over anyway.
"I think it's mango. It's something tropical anyway."
"It's pie, that's all that really matters," Karen said, which was all the wisdom she felt she needed to impart for the day. Nick had been pretty much a saint for the past few weeks, and the rain did nothing but feed into the crappy mood Karen had been in.
"Yeah." Chuck agreed with a small nod. He hadn't been able to help but be reminded of when his mother had abandoned he and Ellie, even if this time, it hadn't been voluntary at all. He'd stayed up all night with Morgan, playing Legend of Zelda and eating cheesecake, so he knew from experience that it would at least get his mind off of everything.
Karen thought it over as slowly chewed another large bite of pie. There was nothing like shooting at everything in sight to, if not cheer her up, then at least distract her from everything.
She set the pie down and held a hand out. "Hit me, Bartowski."
