"W...well. Not exactly." Steve flushes from embarrassment. "The techniques were described in the books. I chose what to make, but didn't allow myself a reference until I was done to check it. I...assume...they would have had students make something less...ambitious. But I wanted it to be home. Our home."

"The book spent a lot of time referencing touch. Pick something you can touch, feel, and really get an image of in mind as you work. Since I have use of my eyes...I decided to do something a bit more complex to make up for the unfair advantage. ...Don't ask me how many splinters I got, either." Too many. Far too many.

"I-if you want. We're already planning cooking, yoga, and bible study together, haha. I have to leave you some time for yourself!"
