"He moves more when he's awake," Maia said, and smirked at Toby. She followed him into the kitchen relatively happily. "I don't mind cheating," she said.
Another flash showed through the windows, and Maia did her best to ignore it. "It'll be good anyway."

"This crust reheats well anyway." Toby ignored the flash and pulled a wad of wrapped refrigerated dough from the fridge. He had been planning to make fried dough with Kevin, but he could always buy more.
"Can you check what kinds of cheese we have?"

The lights flickered. The wind was getting stronger.
Maia took out a block of cheddar. "We have mozzarella, colby jack..." She took each out as she named it, and looked up. "You're sure Dari'll be alright?" She asked.

Toby did look up at the light in the kitchen, but it flickered and stayed on. He went to retrieve well-matched cheeses.
"I'm sure," he said with a smile and started about making dinner, knowing at this point they may never get to finish it.

Maia followed Toby and began to grate the mozzarella. She frowned in concern, but stayed close to Toby. "I don't mind wind," she said. "It's always gusty on the beach."

Toby knew that this was not true, but nodded anyway. He worked the dough as quickly as possible, but being store-bought it was shrinking back down on him.
"That's good," he said, voice calm as his hands worked quickly.

Maia preheated the oven, looking to Toby. "I'll get the toppings," she said, opening up the fridge and selecting a few. "Want me to make the sauce?" She asked.

"We still have some frozen if you want to heat it up," Toby said. He had finally worked the dough into a reasonable shape on the pan. He started applying toppings and cheese.

Frozen sauce? "Alright," Maia said, and opened the freezer. She took it out, and set the stove on low. "How long, do you think?" She asked, taking out a pan. She spooned the pizza sauce into the pan, and placed it on the stove before looking to Toby. Would they be able to finish the pizza before the storm got worse?

Toby shrugged. "Until it's warm?"
He stopped in his work, remembering that there was no sauce on the damn thing. He sighed and poured the cheese back onto the plate and waited. When Maia looked to him, he smiled.

Maia turned the dial to medium heat, and began stirring the sauce so it wouldn't burn. "Few minutes, then," she said. Long enough to thaw and warm it.

More thunder sounded, crackling through the air like fire. Toby didn't react at all.When the sauce was thawed but not warm, he took it from Maia and began spreading it on the pizza.
"It'll warm in the oven," Toby said and started to top it again, properly this time.

Maia puzzled over this before nodding in understanding. Right. She looked around at the sound of thunder. Her resolve definitely had some cracks in it. She offered Toby a packet of pepperoni."Here," she said.

Toby took it with his teeth and put the pizza in the oven. He smiled to Maia again and pulled her to him, wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her head without saying anything.

Maia wrapped her arms around Toby. "Set the timer," she reminded him. She released her hold on him and leaned up to kiss his cheek. "I love you."
