As Mauve sat for the last meal of the day, she wondered when she should bring up the topic with Jael. She was beating herself up for not bringing up when she saw him before the second meal and even on the way here.
Considering he has told her to be unfiltered around him, it wasn't that easy. Somehow, she wasn't able to find the right moment and she was a bit cautious about what Jael would say. He might scold her and refuse and she was terribly afraid of that.
"Are you good?" Jael's words suddenly broke through her thoughts. "You haven't touched your meal."
She blinked, she didn't even realize she had been served. "Oh, I am. Got distracted." She picked up the cutlery and dug into her meal.
"Hmm," he replied and looked to his plate but Mauve could see he was still watching her from the corner of his eyes.
She made a mental note to concentrate on her meal. Since Jael was watching her so closely he was bound to know something was up.
