"Mm-hmm. It was okay," Wilhelm said.

Gabriel noticed Wilhelm didn't seem unhappy, so he carried him toward the car and asked, "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the housekeeper prepare it in advance." Wilhelm eagerly listed off several of his favorite dishes, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
