“Let’s go, Ms. Luca, let’s go,” Tommy said coyly. “I haven’t eaten dinner with you for a long time, Ms. Luca, and I don’t have an appetite when I’m not eating with you. See? I’ve already lost weight.”

While he said that, he pinched his cheeks to show that they were not as bouncy as they used to be.

Luca thought that his face was indeed slimmer. It did not seem as chubby as before.

Tommy was still a child. There should have not been any restrictions to his diet as long as it did not negatively affect his health.

As Tommy’s mother, Luca felt sorry for him but could not say it.

Tommy was a good reader of character. He noticed that he had managed to evoke pity in Luca, and he continued to work his charm. “You won’t want me to lose more weight, right? Please, can we have dinner together just this once?”

“Alright then.” Luca’s heart softened from Tommy’s repeated pleadings and agreed to it.

“Yay! What do you want to eat, Ms. Luca?” Tommy continued asking questions after seeing that Luca agreed to his invitation. He even let Luca decide what to eat while Luke was neglected to the sidelines.

Luca had not thought about that question. In any case, she did not have the appetite to eat.

“What do you want to eat?” She let the child make the decision.

Tommy looked at Luca and smiled. “I’ll eat anything you want to eat!”

Luca turned to look at Luke. “How about you, Mr. Crawford? What do you want to eat?”

“There’s a vegan restaurant nearby that just opened recently. Let’s go there,” Luke said decisively. He was not surprised that Tommy gave Luca the prerogative to decide, but he was surprised that Luca asked himself to decide instead.

Luca seemed not to care about anything, even what she ate.

Was her real personality like that though?

Luke began to wonder what would be something that she cared about.

He led the two other people out of the apartment. On their way out, Luca bent over, picked up the slip of paper on the floor, and clutched it in her hand.
