Jared ambled over, and he and Agnes began to eat.

Agnes had prepared a sumptuous meal, including medium rare steak, pot roast, Caesar salad, and a bowl of clam chowder.

The vegetables could be fresher so that’s twenty off. And it tastes like you forgot the salt in the clam chowder. That’s another ten off.”
