Phoebe replied, "I tried a new recipe. If you didn't like it, I'll stick to the usual one next time."

"It was fine," Theodore mumbled, his hand absentmindedly rubbing his nose as he looked at her with confusion. "What's gotten into you today? Why so compliant? You're not plotting something big, are you?"

Phoebe was sitting behind her broad desk, her hair pulled into a high ponytail that revealed her small, delicate cheeks and her gracefully slender neck.
