Alexander stared at the pickle on my fork like it might be poisoned.

“Ella, why are you feeding me a pickle?”

Without answering out loud, I glanced pointedly toward the photographer across the street. Understanding crossed Alexander’s face. With a barely perceptible sigh, he leaned forward and closed his mouth around my fork, then pulled the bite of food away.

His ears reddened as he chewed and swallowed, clearly embarrassed by the display. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of smug satisfaction at seeing the mighty Alpha Alexander so flustered by something as simple as sharing food–something that was normal for any couple to do.

“Well, would you look at that?”

I turned to see Lilith standing beside our table with a grocery bag in one hand and an amused smile on her face. I might have said I’d never been so happy to see her in my life, but I was always happy to see her.

“Lilith,” I said, setting down my fork. “I didn’t know you were coming to town today, otherwise I would have invited you out.”

“Just picking up a few things for supper. And don’t fret about me; I can see you two are having some time to yourselves.” She smiled at me before turning to the tables around us. “Isn’t it sweet? Five years together and they’re still feeding each other in public.”

A few nearby diners looked over, beaming at the sight of their Alpha and Luna sharing such an intimate moment. An older woman at the next table sighed dreamily.

“So romantic,” she said to her companion. “And after all these years…”

Lilith nodded and patted my shoulder. “Our Luna is always trying to get him to eat healthier. Aren’t you, dear?”

I played along, reaching over to straighten Alexander’s collar. “Someone has to look after him. He was going to eat nothing but a granola bar all day.”

A ripple of giggles and awws spread through the area around us. Even our waiter was smiling as he passed by with a tray of drinks. As for Alexander, his ears were so red now I thought they might pop right off.
