Could see another kind of mind there

 "You're going to lose him," Sunny announced as soon as she saw Chewy sneaking out of his room to go back to Chai's. She was busy with the electric mixer making an ice box pie.

He looked at her funny as if she didn't know what she was talking about. She stopped the mixer and  looked at him as if he was the guilty one.

"Oh, its your MO, isn't it?" Her question was fierce and it made him stop and think.

"I know you're history," she snapped. 

He remained silence wondering what kind of history was she talking about?

She went on to put the creamy mixture into the gram cracker crust. It wasn't exactly a cheese cake, but it smelled citrus and refreshing.

Chewy hugged himself thinking he might have a chance to lick the spoon, but it seemed Sunny knew this.

"I don't know what you're getting at?" He pouted, as if she had no idea what he was putting up with these days. The couch could have used a memory foam mattress. And he smelled of soured milk.

"I figured as much," she smirked and poured the dish soap in the bowl and added water to let it soak in the sink. 

Chewy sighed. Oh, he really needed something sweet right now. He'd been on his best behavior far too long with Daisy. Not that it had done him much good. She was always naughty. It made him wince how the progress was so slow with her.

"Why are you mad at me," Chewy scowled. Of course, he went to the fridge to look for something good, but it was lean picking.

"You, are going the wrong way about all this," she glared at him with her hands on her hips.

"Oh really?" he tilted his head. He thought she was oblivious to this whole matter with Daisy.

"Just tell Chai you are in love with him," she sighed. "Those two are packaged deal. You have to respect him and how much he's been through with Daisy. Besides, she picks up on these things."

"Oh she does not," he snapped. and bit into a carrot stick. Why were they so healthy around here? He wanted to know. It was just the two of them now. He was at Chai's. Even if he was mostly on the couch waiting for Daisy to find him at night. "She's just a child."

"And that  little child knows Chai best."

Now Sunny was hugging herself. 

 "You gotta be honest with Chai, but you have to be honest with yourself, too. If you want a family with Chai you have to go the distance."

Sunny shrugged as if her work was done with him.

Chewy winced hard. He thought he was going the distance. He was there for both of them. Although, he was telling both of them what to do. He wasn't even making the meals. He hated when Sunny was right, but how did he change the course of things? He imagined being the voice of reason. But then it felt like a dead end. 

Yes, he was tired. Daisy was exhausting. Still, he knew where he wanted to be. It wasn't here.

He wanted the recipe for the pie. It was time he made one for Daisy and Chai.
