Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 9

*Join us!* Jace agreed without consulting me.

Tanya sat down, looking at the food in front of her with a foodie expression. "Grilled fish, I've been craving this lately."

"And add some dessert, yogurt ice cream with strawberry sauce, and orange juice," Tanya said, then turned to me, "Keira, would you like some orange juice too?" "No, I'll have water," I replied, putting a piece of fole gras into my mouth. It was smooth, delicate, with a faint milky aroma...

*Jace, was the foie gras you brought me before from this restaurant?" Tanya's words made me pause mid-chew.

I looked at him, noting his slightly stiff expression, "... Yes."

No wonder he knew the foie gras here was good. He had bought it for Tanya multiple times, while today was my first time having it-only because he felt guilty. Suddenly, the foie gras in my mouth lost its flavor, making it hard to swallow.
