===================
As Rose and Ethan settled in for their morning meal, the atmosphere enveloped them in a cozy warmth, albeit tinged with a hint of awkwardness.
The remnants of their fervent night together lingered in the air, casting a subtle, almost palpable atmosphere between them.
To alleviate the tension and infuse liveliness into the atmosphere surrounding them, Ethan decided to crack a joke.
"Wow! I had no idea you could cook such exquisite delicacies, Aunt Rose."
"What's that supposed to mean, huh?" Rose raised her eyebrows inquisitively as she glanced at him.
Ethan chuckled at Rose's reaction, raising his hands in a gesture of innocence.
"Oh, nothing, nothing at all! I just meant to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by your culinary skills. I always thought you were just good at making trouble," he teased, a playful glint in his eyes.
