In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Xander was a good cook. He prepared a scrumptious spread in an hour.

"Crab imperial, grilled scallops, clam chowder, barbequed ribs, salad, fish soup ..." Grace named the dishes one by one.

"You're so awesome, Xander! These are all my favorites."

Xander had a bright smile on his face as he looked at her tenderly. Then, he walked up to her and took her hand. "Go wash your hands first." Grace moved quickly. She dashed to the bathroom to wash her hands. Then, she went to the kitchen to retrieve some cutlery to set on the table.

Xander pulled a chair out for her. They sat facing each other.

"Try it out and let me know how it tastes."

Grace tasted every one of the dishes slowly and praised Xander.

"It's too delicious, Xander."

He put more food on her plate and said, "Don't hold back, then."
