Edward patted Janice on the shoulder. "Come check on the steak with me."

Barbara watched as they walked into the kitchen together, standing side-by-side as they sampled the steak.

Robert, however, countered, "She's done you a favor. How do you plan on repaying her?"

Barbara was caught off guard. "...A car? A house? Money?"

"How superficial."

Barbara scoffed. "Then you tell me!"
