The next morning, as I was getting ready for work, I turned to Alex and said, "You know, for a roommate, you're pretty great."
"Good morning!" Alex chimed, noticing I was awake. "I tried to make breakfast."
I raised an eyebrow. "That sounds... fun. But what's so special about it?"
I nodded in agreement. "I'd like that."
"What?" I replied, curious.
The rest of the day was uneventful until Alex came home from work with an excited look on their face. "Guess what?" they asked, barely containing their enthusiasm.
