Casper nodded, eyes wide. Though he had only mentioned his mother being into the jam, she wasn't the only one interested in the process. Casper couldn't help a giggle at Marlon's pun, and Susan looked between the two, suspicious, causing Casper to cut off a bit, smile falling.
He offered a flimsy smile at Marlon's own, which only made Susan more suspicious. Marlon's next words did not help.
Casper swallowed hard, eyes falling to the floor.
Still, Susan nodded. "We like trying to find things Robert might like. He isn't the easiest to cook for." She laughed a bit, glancing at Casper before pushing the graying hair of her long bob back, though it wasn't in her face to begin with.
Then Marlon spoke again, and any concerns she had fell aside. Maybe he knew too much for her comfort, but he also knew about math, as far as she could tell. She wasn't about to test it, though she had studied Casper's textbook herself in her efforts to assist him in school. She smiled again. "Well," she said, "maybe you can get through to him in ways I can't." She didn't mean for it to be mean, but Casper still blushed, hand moving to his mouth.
