He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.

"Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.

He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing.

"Aren't I nice to you?"
