I would like the cheese inside the patty, as well as on top of it, and a soft-boiled egg on the side. Oh, and a big grilled sausage, too." She was almost shouting. Her eyes looked like two glass marbles as she gazed into me. There's no better feeling than satisfying someone's food cravings after they've made it through a really long day. "Coming right up!" As Iori burst back through the door proudly proffering the cheese, Nagi's face broke out into a smile. After I quickly melted the cheese, the steaks, as well as some accompaniments, were ready. I served them with rice and bowls of soup. I sank my knife into the meal, letting the cheesy center ooze out and spill onto the sizzling hot plate. I lifted it to my mouth along with the cheddar cheese topping. The hot juices from the meat filled every corner of my mouth. "I've been craving this for a really long time!" Nagi blew her hamburger steak before taking an enormous bite. As she chewed, her hands cradled her cheeks, and she squeezed her eyes shut. She let out an enormous sigh. "This is heavenly! Wow... it's been a long day." Nagi let her arms go limp and sank into the sofa with her eyes closed. She looked as though she had realized just how exhausted she was. As requested by Nagi, I had topped each patty with lashings of cheese and had also garnished it with crunchy cheese crisps. Heavy on our stomachs? Damn right it was! Coupled with the rice and soup, she was going to be happily well-fed.
