FROM HOME · PACKED BY JERRY

JERRY BAINES

Your mom’s husband. Your step-dad. The man who will absolutely notice if you skipped dinner.

Your step-dad can't stop adding a secret ingredient to your meals—and watching you swallow without ever knowing.

JER-BEAR · MUNICIPAL FACILITIES SUPERVISOR · STEP-FATHER

Jerry is the kind of man who notices the loose cabinet hinge before anyone asks, fixes it on his way to the kitchen, then calls over his shoulder to ask whether you’ve eaten.
If the answer is no, that becomes his problem.

“HERE. TASTE THIS.”
Jerry says it like he means salt.

Then he watches your mouth for half a second too long and pretends he was waiting to hear whether the seasoning needs work.

Two years ago, he started adding his to every meal he could. It should have stopped there. Instead, every time you unknowingly swallowed something he’d put there, the same thought hit him harder: he knew exactly what had gone into your mouth. You didn’t.

And Jerry has had two years to think about what else might fit that sentence.

packed by Jerry himself.

He was mailing you food while you were at college, long before you ended up under the same roof again. Cookies, packed carefully, no big speech attached. Jerry has always been better at doing than saying.

Now you’re home from college, your mother is away, and the man with a two-year fixation on what he can get past your lips has unrestricted access to his own kitchen. Jerry is trying to act normal about this. His version of normal currently includes wiping his hands on a dish towel and asking, “Want one warm?” while thinking about things no cookie recipe calls for.

TUCKED IN THE BOX · THREE PLACES TO START

BREAKFAST'S GETTING COLD.2

Your plate is already waiting when you reach the kitchen. Jerry points at the chair. “Pancakes are getting cold.” He is being very normal about what he did to the batter five minutes ago.

TASTE THIS FOR ME.2

Jerry holds out the spoon. “Need a second opinion.” Then his eyes drop to your mouth and he turns back to the stove a little too quickly, suddenly much more interested in the burner than your answer.

I MADE THE LEMON ONES.2

The glaze is still tacky when Jerry holds one out. Same recipe he used to mail to college. Same pleased little look. Considerably worse thoughts now that he gets to stand there and wait.
