When he saw me staring at him, he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it. "Other than the food you mentioned, what else are you craving for?'1

I withdrew my hand and stammered, "A-Anything is fine!" Right now, anything was fine for me.

I could hear Hendrix's deep laughter rumbling in his throat. It seemed like he was in a very good mood.
