Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed
Chapter 31
Leda was craving something light and refreshing, so she ordered salmon sashimi and jumbo shrimp, her go-to favorite for a quick seafood fix.
On the other hand, Roseanne wasn't much for cold dishes, so she opted for chicken noodle soup and a side of sushi rolls. The soup was nothing to write home about, but its saving grace was the fresh ingredients.
Leda watched her eat with polite enthusiasm and teased her, "This salmon is so tender and fresh. Are you sure you don't want to try it? It might open up a whole new world for you."
Roseanne waved her off. "You know I can't get my head around raw food. I'll stick to my soup, thanks."
"You haven't changed a bit, have you?" Leda had always noticed how Roseanne stuck to her likes and dislikes stubbornly.
Speaking of changes, Leda suddenly remembered, "I haven't had a chance to visit the spa in days. I've been so busy that my hands are starting to feel rough."
Then, she sighed and added, "It's all because my dad's been on my case about going on blind dates. And my mom's not helping either. She's siding with him on this."
"It's not like they can't afford to keep me, so what's the rush?"
"And anyway, my cousin Owen hasn't settled down yet, so why should I be in any hurry..."
Speaking of Owen, Roseanne remembered they were neighbors but had barely seen each other since they last had dinner together, except that she once dropped off a sandwich at his place. Unaware of Roseanne's drifting thoughts, Leda popped a piece of sushi into her mouth, reminiscing about the last meeting. "Didn't you and Owen visit Ms. Payne the other day? How did that go?" Roseanne sipped her soup, and after a thoughtful chew, she swallowed and replied, "Well, it went about as you'd expect. Ms. Payne already reserved a spot for me, so I need to pass this year's grad school entrance exams."
