far corner. Naturally, that comer hosted Morwenna and Stuart. Stuart was decked out in a bespoke suit, while Morwenna was in a beige chiffon dress Stuart had picked out for her. Both of them were ridiculously good–looking, one exuding the aura of medieval royalty, and the other pure enough to make you believe she could do no wrong. To the owner, they looked like characters straight out of a romance novel, slumming it with the common folk for kicks. His eyes lighting up, the owner hurried over. “You folks are our hundredth customers of the day! We’ve got a little promo going where if you choose to sit outside, your meals on the house. What do you say?” These two were like a magnet for business! Stuart frowned. Places like this weren’t his scene. It was too noisy and crowded. He wasn’t keen on the indoors, let alone sitting outside. But then, Stuart heard Morwenna beside him, bubbling with excitement, “Really? We’d love to!” The owner had asked Stuart, but it was Morwenna who answered. The owner was a bit uneasy, knowing full well it was the man who called the shots here. Would the girl’s word stand?

Ready to dig in, she said, “Stuart, you might not know how to eat wings. Let me show you. First, you break it off at the joint, then twist and remove the bones. See? Easy. And then you dip it in this sauce here.” 2 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Stuart watched, amused by Morwenna’s enthusiasm. Thinking Stuart was focused on the wings, Morwenna brought a boneless piece to his mouth, “Sir, open wide, ah!” Stuart instinctively complied. Morwenna fed him the wing, her eyes shining. “Tasty?” Stuart, ever the stoic, admitted, “Not bad.” Just as Morwenna was about to dive in for more, Stuart stopped her. Morwenna looked up in surprise, “Sir, we’ve got all these wings. You’re not planning on hogging them, are you?” Stuart replied coolly. “You’ve got that cut on your hand. You shouldn’t be getting it into the sauce. I’ll do it” Morwenna blushed, the idea of Stuart helping her with the wings feeling a bit too intimate. … I think it might not look too good,
