Jez smiled when Andrea said, "If I went there, I can't recall it. I'm not big on most Thai food; the spices they tend to use go right past flavor and head directly into the pain, so I avoid them as much as possible." Jez realized that clearly Andrea didn’t have authentic Thai Food; a real Pad Thai is not inherently spicy. “Oh Andrea, you clearly didn’t have real Pad Thai. Pad Thai is amazing. You start with your Base Flavor: Sweet (palm sugar), sour (tamarind), and savory (fish sauce or soy sauce). Then Stir-fried rice noodles mixed with egg, peanuts, and proteins like shrimp or tofu. I prefer Chicken, no fish sauce, too salty as compared to soy sauce in my opinion. I actually have a recipe in the replicator, if you want to try some?” Said Jez.
Just then the door chime sounded, and in came Cindy and Mike.

Mike entered Jez’s quarters, and his face lit up when he saw her, but he quickly hid his joy. He wasn’t going to let Jez think she could get away with what she had done, at least not right away. He was going to savor the moment. Mike knew he was at a strategic disadvantage with all these women, but Jez was different; she would manipulate Mike like a Ferengi. Yes, Jez was his student, but they were also partners in crime. If, as a child, Jez was up past her bedtime and his wife T’Sara who would baby sit, Mike would swear that Jez went to bed on time, and if Mike would have too many unhealthy snacks, Jez would say, “No, T’Sara, Mike only had apples”, because Mike had a little bit of a sweet tooth.
Mike noticed the smell in the air, Skause, it brought back memories of his mother’s cooking. His mother made the most incredible Skause; Mike was still standing there; he was waiting for Jez to invite him to sit. That’s when he spotted on the table a Kransekake, covered with assorted berries.
Det lille monsteret ( That little monster.) She thinks she can bribe me with the most delectable, savory-looking Kransekake. Steady, steady…..!!!!

Jez looked up; she could tell Mike was unhappy. Jez went and sat on the couch; she patted the cushion next to her, as if to say, “Come sit, please!” Her eyes pleaded with him. The events from earlier came flooding back. “T… Mike, please come sit.” Said Jez.
Mike melted when he saw her blue eyes; her eyes were soft and dissolved his stubbornness in an instant. He walked over and sat down. He folded his arms across his chest, his face set in stone.
Jez stood up and gave him a deep respective bow,” Mike, Sensi, I’m so s..s..ss...sorry, I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to slap you. I was thoughtless and disrespectful, and I, I, I never meant to imply you were dishonorable,” Sobbed Jez, her tears welling up in her eyes
Mike felt his heart melt. He hugged Jez.”Shhhh ... it's alright, shhhhh. Take it easy, it’s alright, it’s alright.” Said Mike. He rocked her. “It’s okay, no harm done.” Said Mike. “I’ve had worse.” Said Mike, Jokingly.
Jez felt so safe; she felt his powerful arm wrap around her. She still felt horrible, despite him reassuring her that everything was alright and that he understood. “No, I was horrible, I... I... uhm....umh.. I hurt the kindest person I’ve ever known.” Sobbed Jez.
Mike could feel his eyes starting to water; he felt his emotional control starting to crumble. But being the Alpha Male that he was, he couldn’t allow himself to cry; at least not in front of others, especially women.
Vikings don’t cry, Vikings don’t cry.
Jez hugged Mike; she was happy that they were dialoging. Mike, not an expert in dealing with crying young women, shot Andrea a look as if to say, “Help, she’s a young woman, she’s crying, I’m a man, what do I do next? “
