"Just eat your food," she said, nodding toward the steak.
"Are you... sure?"
"Hmm..." she nodded. "Don't worry about me."
"Ups to you, then," he shrugged and reached for the fork and knife. She was the one who insisted on him having the steak so he obeyed.
Her wish was his command.
They ate their meal silently. None of them opened the topic again. Both shared the same thought that they did not want to ruin the peace.
They spent almost half an hour just to finish their meal. Jeremy was the first to finish with Ryn followed behind five minutes later.
They both pushed the plate away and patted their lips with the napkin. Ryn put it neatly on the plate while Jeremy just dropped it beside the plate. Jeremy pressed the button to call for the waiter.
When the same woman came, he told her to clear the table and handed his card to pay. Ryn, on the other hand, asked for another glass of red wine. He just asked to refill his empty glass.
