Kapitel 52: Mr. Moriarty's way

Eve looked at Noah from the corner of her eyes. The way he said it quickly, it was as if he didn't like the idea of them being a couple. She and Noah took their seats at the table, sitting on opposite sides while facing each other, and the woman took their order and left to inform the cook in the kitchen. 

Mr. Sullivan was a man whom Eve admired, and held high regard for him. It wasn't like she was in love with him, but at the same time, she couldn't help but question if Mr. Sullivan found her unsuitable to be his life partner. Was there something disagreeable about her?

Eve's blue eyes wandered around where they sat before they came to settle on Noah, who was already looking at her, and he smiled at her kindly. She smiled back at him.

"Have you been here before?" Noah asked her. When the woman returned to the table with two glasses of water, they thanked her. 

"This is my first time," answered Eve, and Noah looked slightly surprised.
