He glanced at the menu and then back at me without taking it.

"You're telling me with everything on this menu, you're going to get a cobb salad and wine?" He asked, his brows raised.

My cheeks flushed, but I wasn't going to back down.

"Yes," I said, though even I didn't sound very convincing to myself.
