This was really thoughtful.

Briar, who wasn’t very hungry at first, suddenly felt her stomach rumble at the sight of all the delicious breakfast dishes. She immediately buried her head and began to eat heartily.

At that moment, Brandon, who had been waiting nearby, received a phone call. After just a few words from the caller, his expression turned gloomy.
