When they arrived at the restaurant, the server led the four of them directly to a private room. They ordered the dishes, set up the barbecue, and started cooking.

Paul said, “It’s iced, to help with the spiciness.”

Thinking it would be rude if the three of them left without Paul, Miranda decided to wait at the entrance for him. Soon, Paul came out, carrying a paper bag.

“I noticed you liked this, so I asked the server to pack some for you. Eat it tonight, and throw away the leftovers. Melons that sit overnight can upset your stomach,” he said.

“Okay,” Miranda replied and nodded in agreement.
