Natalie massaged her temples. “Everything’s fine. Let’s just eat somewhere.”

Noticing that she did not seem to have any appetite, Shane pursed his lips and stayed silent. He drove her to a classy Italian restaurant.

Like a gentleman, he pulled the chair out for Natalie, who sat down with a smile.

Then, he sat down opposite her and pushed the menu toward her. “The food in this restaurant is lighter on the palate. It’s probably more to your taste.”

“Let me take a look.” Natalie flipped the menu open and glanced through it. The dishes were just as he described—light on the palate, yet appetizing.

Natalie only ordered mushroom spaghetti and salad.

Shane ordered similar dishes. When he closed the menu and passed it back to the waiter, he suddenly remembered something and said, “I’d like a glass of orange juice too.”

“Okay!” replied the waiter with a smile before leaving.

Natalie unfolded the napkin and was about to tie it around her neck when Shane pushed a glass of juice toward her. “You don’t have much of an appetite, right? Drink this. It’ll increase your appetite.”

 

Natalie glanced at the juice, then back at him. She felt a warm feeling surface within her as a touched expression appeared on her face.
