“Mm,” Hansel replied.

“Madam, I’ll have…” She listed off several dishes. Her familiarity with the menu made it clear she was a regular.

“… Trust me. It’s really delicious. It tasted even better than the high–end restaurants!” The waitress enthusiastically recommended the dishes.

Hansel occasionally acknowledged her, but his responses were distant and flat.

The smoky, charred aroma of the barbecue irritated his throat, and the bustling activity around him only added to his discomfort.

Willow picked up a skewer and offered it to him with a smile. “Try this. It’s my favorite.”

Hansel didn’t take it.

She hesitated and said, “You.., don’t like this kind of food? I’m sorry, I didn’t think of that.”

She quickly put the skewer down and said awkwardly, “Let’s go somewhere else. You choose the location.”
