“You hungry?” he asked. His accent was monotonous, steady and calm. He was interested!
“I suppose.”
Caroline, who heard him, muttered as she watched the street all the way, before turning.
“Let’s pick a restaurant then,” he said.
As he led the way, she fiddled with her phone, tapping on the search engine and then on the keyboard before stopping and waving it at him, for a moment and contemplating.
“Let’s go here!”
The quiet tone that had pleased Dennis’ ears, had him sigh silently and look back at her without thinking, determinedly.
“A… Japanese restaurant?” he asked, to which she nodded with a straight face and then explained brilliantly.
“Um…” “Taiga often praises the taste there!” “I’m curious!” she said with sparkling eyes, causing him to groan. “Oh, okay.”
“Great.” He nodded with an understanding expression, then smiled with straight lips and followed the facade, in line with her wish.
