Chapter 252: The Setting Sun (4)

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Mona said as she sat on the grass covered earth besides me. 

"Don't worry about it," I glanced at the basket on her lap. "What's that?"

She giggled. "I prepared us some food. Like a picnic!" She put the basket beside her and opened its lid.

I didn't need to hear anything else. I bit into the sandwich. "This is amazing," I said as soon as I swallowed my piece. "Mona, you sure you're not a cook?"
