The Truth Behind Her Cooking

My girlfriend is an amazing cook, and I’ve always loved her meals.

Her one rule is that I’m not allowed to enter the kitchen while she’s cooking. I found it a bit odd, but I respected her boundaries and didn’t ask questions.

One day, I accidentally walked in while she was mid-prep.

To my horror, I saw her unpacking pre-made meals from fancy takeout containers and plating them as if she had made them herself. She admitted that she couldn’t cook at all and didn’t want to disappoint me.

I wasn’t angry, just confused that she didn’t tell me the truth from the beginning.
