“Why are you thanking me?” 

The man opened the door of the car’s backseat and got in. “If you want to show your gratitude, I would appreciate some homemade pierogis tonight.” 

Cherise rolled her eyes. “I’m not in the mood.” 

She was genuinely confused as to why someone would suddenly come to Isaac’s defense as if she were the villain.
