Miranda couldn’t help but laugh at his easygoing nature and sat back down.

Paul added, “I love your cooking, and this meal is the best thank–you I could ask for.” He then raised his soup spoon and gently clinked it against hers before taking a sip.

He picked up a piece of fried chicken wing, crispy and golden on the outside with perfectly juicy meat Inside. The slightly charred edges combined with the tenderness of the chicken made for a rich and satisfying bite.

“It’s hard to find chicken wings this good outside. You need a lot of luck,” he joked.

Miranda chuckled, “So I guess the rest of the chicken wings are all yours to finish?”

Paul raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening. “I’d be more than happy to.”

heading out.
