Tyler ordered two more dishes before handing the menu to the staff. “That’s all for now. Bring at bottle of red wine.”

Olivia looked at his rather cold face and wondered if they were going to finish the wine themselves. Are we… drinking?”

He ignored her.

She was at a loss, unable to understand what she had done today to anger him. Just yesterday, everything had seemed fine between them, leaving her baffled and unable to pinpoint the cause.
