As we continued to enjoy our meal, Lindsay's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "How's the food? Is it delicious?
I considered my response carefully.
The truth was, the food tasted rather ordinary compared to the delicacies of my sect, but I didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm.
So, I opted for a pleasant reply. "It tastes good, and I can see why this place is quite popular," I said, offering a diplomatic response.
It seemed that my words pleased her, and she took pride in her choice of restaurant.
"Then, I'm glad you like it," she replied with a satisfied smile.
It was a small white lie to keep the mood light, and I was content to see her happy and enjoying our time together.
However, there was a sudden disruption that shattered the pleasant atmosphere in the tavern.
