"Honey! Why are you feeding me again?" Mia protested, putting on her best pout. She'd finally managed to slim down, and for once, all those gorgeous new dresses actually fit. But now, after this trip and Andre's relentless spoiling, her clothes were starting to feel snug again.

Andre paused mid-conversation, turning to look at her with a patient smile. “Just one last bite, love. Finish this sausage and that's it, I promise. Then we'll head back and get some sleep."

Mia cradled her soft cheeks, thinking about all the stubborn pounds she'd worked so hard to lose-only to eat them all back in one go. "No more," she grumbled.

Andre leaned in, still coaxing. "Come on, sweetheart. Last one, I swear."

In the end, Andre finished off the sausage himself, shaking his head with an amused sigh.
