Marrying the Man in the Dark

Cherise was filled with excitement as she nestled in Damien’s arms, eager to inquire about his plans. Unbeknownst to her, the car had come to a stop.

“Alright, time to get out,” Damien said, amused by Cherise’s enthusiasm. He playfully tweaked her nose. “Are you hungry?”

Surprised by his question, Cherise instinctively glanced out of the car window, only to realize they had parked in front of a restaurant.

The signboard read, ‘Ziphon’s Famous Seared Trout.’

Seared trout!

Just the sight of those words sent her into a frenzy of excitement.

Cherise passionately kissed Damien’s cheek before hastily exiting the car. “Seared trout, here I come!”

She was in high spirits and determined to indulge in a feast.

However, Cherise did not anticipate that, apart from seared trout, every other dish in this restaurant was spicy. Damien couldn’t handle spicy food. She vividly remembered how Damien had made himself ill by consuming spicy food when they were in Lermille.
