“I’ll get us both some. Bring your glass over to the table while I get everything.”

Jean-René walked over to the table and sat at one of the settings.

“Michael, look at this table: candles, napkins folded like hearts, flowers. Do you two do this all the time?”

They both laughed and started eating.

“Cameron is missing out on a good meal. This is very good. I know that whatever she’s eating tonight is nothing like this.”

Michael nodded as she ate the dinner.
