a cold and deflated souffle and husband!' i mean, i can imageine nicky waiting at home, his poor souffle on his lap as he sits under a single lit lamp, and i cant help but think of that 'am i a joke to you?' meme but nicky saying 'are we a joke to you?' for both him and his poor neglected souffle
nicky of course doesn’t actually care about the illegal part but if they get caught they’ll be late for dinner and he’s making cheese soufflés. time is critical, booker, chop chop
an anon once suggested this scenario to me and of course there’s no way that nicky would give up any chance at all to hold his husband’s hand (and even though that’s not what joe meant he’s certainly not complaining)
