Dinner was lively with James and Jay at the table. The pair rambled nonstop, leaving Mina and Emma's eyes ping ponging back and forth between the two heads of the table. Mina imagined that she was watching a tennis match of dialogue and she could almost visualize the sentences. Their conversation was so distracting that Mina had barely touched her food.
"You are a very good cook," Emma whispered across the table. Her comment reminded the blabbering duo that they were seated for a meal.
"Mina's cooking is my favorite," James added. He was not just trying to make conversation, he honestly enjoyed Mina's creations. Emma stole a questioning glance toward James and cast her eyes back onto her plate.
