promise you, after all. I lost the bet, remember?”

His eyes lock onto mine, and for a moment, the playful mask he wears slips,

replaced by genuine surprise. “Did you just—?”

“Yes.” I cut him off, a sudden burst of courage—perhaps fueled by the Merlot—

filling me. “Look, if by some miracle I win this competition and have to cater the
