"Yeah? What's going on?" she asked, staring at him curiously.

Joshua chuckled, a warmth in his gaze. "You already filled me up last night. Now it's my turn to make sure you're full."

"Oops—cough, cough..." Allison choked on her soup, coughing as her cheeks flushed bright red. "You..." she stammered, biting her lip in embarrassment. "Why would you say something like that!" Joshua laughed softly, full of affection. "Alright, alright, I'll drop it. Enjoy your meal."
