I didn’t plan on inviting Neil for meal, but since he already started munching, my words just choked back.

I focused on my food, doing my best to ignore Neil He’s always quiet when eating, giving our meal a serene ambiance.

“Neil, go handle your business.” I took the chance to say.

I looked at the shrimp on my plate, feeling a bit mixed up. We weren’t at that lovey dovey stage yet.

So, I put the shrimp back on Neil’s plate. He gave me a meaningful look and asked, “Are you disgusted by me?”

I shook my head, “No. I just don’t feel like eating shrimp.”

He got the message, didn’t say anything else, and just ate the shrimp himself.
