章 30: When eating matters

Third person's POV

"Shall we?" Liam inquired and Chloe nodded too sharply. 

She was trying not to be emotional. Liam noticed that and immediately sprung into action, to lift the mood. 

"Remember how I used to struggle with cooking? Well, I am glad to inform you that I can flip anything flippable in the kitchen now. My soup isn't watery today..." He stated, holding Chloe's hand in his. 

He could notice how cold her hand felt but decided not to comment on it. He knew it was because of what was happening to her. 

"Oh, then that is a bad sign." Chloe replied, shaking her head, her mood gradually becoming lively. 

"What do you mean?" Liam inquired, cocking an eyebrow in pretense of being angry. 

"Liam, if the soup is not watery, then it is salty. If not that, then something else must have happened to it." Chloe responded, a hint of amusement in her voice.
