An Unexpected Guest
"Ah..Ahhh...AH-CHOO!" I let out a loud sneeze before turning over to my other side with a groan. I still can't believe I caught a cold from staying out too long the other day. It was the first snowfall and I spent too much time trying to perfect my snowman making skills. All was eerily at home, I miss the sound of my friends laughter as we spend time together. All that could be heard was the faint sound of my wall clock ticking and the occasional drip from my sloppy sink. The soft glow from my muted juicy apple tv casts shadows that dance in the dimly lit room. "I wish I'd hurry up and start feeling better soon..." I let out with a tired sigh. All of a sudden, a gentle knock could be heard from the door.
"Who is it?" I called out, my voice sounding more hoarse than i expected it to be. I was worried that I looked more disheveled than usual. "It's me Honeybun! Puck! I heard you weren't feeling well." I opened the door and couldn't help but smile at the penguin standing at my doorway. "Oh Puck, you didn't have to come all this way." I moved out of the way to let him pass. He waddled in before turning to face me. "Nonsense! I heard from Bob that you were still feeling under the weather brrrrr!" He was all bundled up, scarf tied tightly to protect his face from the cold. "Here Puck, let me take your coat! Come warm up by the fire. You must be freezing from your walk over!" He was holding a purple bag with little blue flowers embroidered onto it. "Wait I came over to come have lunch with you. I figured you were feeling lonely after being cooped up at home these past few days." Suddenly he was ushering me over to the dining room. "I thought I'd try making you some soup Honeybun! It's a new recipe so I figured I would bring some over for you to try!" He beamed. "Here! You go sit down and I'll set the table"
He came back with two bowls, spoons and a ladle. He opened the purple bag he came with and pulled out a ceramic soup container. It was decorated with little hockey sticks and hockey pucks. He lifted the lid and steam rose from the container, revealing a lovely cream of broccoli soup. "This smells fantastic Puck." I said with a warm smile. "Thanks! It was hard to stick to the recipe! I really wanted to add my leftover jelly doughnuts into the soup but figured I'd save the experimenting for when I cook for myself." He let out a laugh and I internally let out the biggest sigh of relief he followed a recipe for once. He ladled a few spoonful of soup into my bowl before doing the same for himself. "Well, dig in!" I lifted a spoonful to my mouth, taking a bite out of some broccoli. Suddenly, I felt an almost overwhelming sense of relief and warmth. It felt so nice to have someone be kind enough to do something so generous and so thoughtful.
I felt my eyes grow warm with tears. "Honeybun, are you okay? Do you still feel sick?" I smiled and let out a sniffle. "No, I feel much better now Puck. I'm just so glad to have a friend like you. I can't thank you enough." Puck beamed back. "Of course! After all, what are best friends for?"
