“I'm bringing you out for dinner.” Shane glanced at her stomach out of the corner of his eye.

All at once, Natalie placed a hand over her stomach, and her face turned bright red. “You heard that?”

Her stomach rumbled again a moment ago, but she didn't expect him to catch it.

As Shane maneuvered the steering wheel, displeasure was written all over his face. “Why didn't you eat?”

At that, a wry smile tugged at Natalie's lips. “I hadn't the time.”

Ugh! I'd been bustling about today, what with giving my statement and investigating the matter. The thing is, my hands were so full that I couldn't even spare the time to eat!

Hearing that, Shane's thin lips drew into a tight line, but he didn't comment further.

In no time, he came to a stop outside a cozy and romantic restaurant. “We're here.”

“Okay.” Natalie unfastened her seat belt and alighted from the car.

Meanwhile, Shane waited for her in front of the car. When she had walked over, he took her hand and made his way into the restaurant with her.
