'Wine doesn't taste good. Candy is sweet?' he wondered.

Barclay lowered his eyelids, lost in thought for a moment, then directed his attention to the corkscrew in his hand, and returned the unopened bottle to its place.

After completing this task, he returned to his previous position, sat back down, and reached into her palm to grab a piece of candy.

He unwrapped the candy, raised it to his mouth, and popped it in.

The moment the soft candy touched his tongue, a slight sourness spread instantly across his taste buds, followed by the full-bodied aroma of mango in his mouth.

He bit into the soft candy, and the sweetness immediately overpowered the earlier sourness.

'Yep, she is right. It's sweet,' he thought to himself.

However, he wanted to push his luck a bit.

Barclay turned his head to the side and looked at Moira, who had been watching him the whole time. "Not sweet enough, a bit sour."

"Huh?"

Moira was suddenly awkward. "I'm sorry. The mango candy is a bit sour."

He didn't say anything and just looked at the highball glass in her hand. "Aren't you drinking?"

Following his gaze, Moira glanced at her own glass. She had only taken a sip earlier, and now there was still half a glass of red wine left.

With that look in Barclay's eyes, it seemed like he would drink it if she didn't.
