Otherwise, I’d feel sorry for having done you a disservice.”The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she glanced about her surroundings as if she didn’t know how to react to his words nor how to continue the conversation.Studying the food in front of her—she barely ate anything—he asked, “You’re done? Are you full?”In response, she placed her spoon down. “Yeah.”Thus, he called for the check.
