The kitchen air is thick with the sweet scent of fresh batter. Matt, glowing with pride in his apron and chef's hat, pries golden waffles from the iron. At the table, Edd and Tord lean forward with hungry anticipation while Tom sits perfectly still, his face a flat mask, his dark eyes staring blankly into the middle distance. Matt sets the plates down with a flourish, but the quiet is shattered when Tord—without warning—spears a waffle with his fork and shoves it straight into Tom's mouth. Tom freezes, stunned by the audacity, as Tord continues to force-feed him. By lunchtime, the scene repeats with a stack of pancakes. Edd and Tord are in heaven; Tom has slumped forward, his face pressed to the table, utterly defeated by the sugar.
