He hadn’t tried it yet because the soup was still hot. Plus, he was picky with food and somewhat reluctant to put such mushy food into his mouth.

Meanwhile, Skylar ate spoonfuls after spoonfuls of it. The simple ingredients didn’t stop the soup from tasting good.

Joe eventually picked up his spoon after seeing Skylar eat several mouthfuls in a row. With a reluctant frown, he took the tiniest sip. Then, he ate another spoonful and another.
