Shadow Slave

Chapter 463

The three of them sat down and were presented with old-fashioned, paper menus to make their choice from. Sunny stared at the word "steak" for a bit, then shuddered and shifted his gaze to the salad section.

Sunny cleared his throat.

"That's, uh… thanks. I guess. I sort of… assumed that you wouldn't notice that I was gone."
