“Your mother was real nice, Jayne,” Kaylee says cheerily. “Made us all feel safe an’ welcome in her home. And the cake?”
“Best cake in the ‘verse,” Jayne finishes for her. “I never did have a slice better than mother’s strawberry cake.”
“Me neither.”
They share a grin and Jayne reaches for the knife laying on the tabletop. Glancing at Kaylee, he nods at the half eaten cake left there. “Another piece?”
“I’ve had three slices already and should say ‘no’, but it’s just so good!” She takes the slice Jayne cuts for her and bites into it, chewing slowly to prolong the flavour. When she’s finished it all, she meets Jayne’s eyes.
“You’ll have to thank her again for the cake,” she says.
Jayne nods. Smiles. “I will.”
“Until then…”
“Another piece?”
