To say that Alexis was surprised would be an understatement. Yes, she was late but cooking took time and she had to go out for grocery shopping as well, also, preparing fish isn't an easy job. She didn't know if he would understand this. The man looked like he had never stepped into the kitchen, so he probably couldn't even appreciate it. Weekends and holidays were meant for junk food and laying around, not for cooking fish, but here she was. She did her level best, but the man in front of her was just holding on to the fact that she was late after saying one sentence in her praise.
Alexis gulped, inhaled some air and thought of being honest with him. "I h–had to go for grocery shopping and making fish takes a lot of time . . ."
