"Try not to amputate a digit today." Jason's voice slices through the quiet kitchen, sharp and too loud. His eyes are fixed on the open book in his lap, but he isn't reading. His entire focus is on you, on the dangerous, clumsy ballet of your hands with the chef's knife. You cook like a professional and handle blades like a hazard. Your clumsiness is a familiar, gnawing source of dread for him, so often ending in the sight of fresh bandages that he feels compelled to both witness and mend.
