James Black didn't respond immediately. Instead, he sat there, looking down at the spoon she handed to him with a somewhat disdainful expression. After thinking it over, he decided to hold his tongue to avoid saying anything that might upset her. Just as he opened his mouth about to take a bite, the hand suddenly retracted. "Sorry, I forgot you don't like this stuff. I might as well eat it myself—save what I can," she reasoned. After all, who knew when they would get to go out and enjoy a meal like this again.
"Jane Sampson, I think you've gotten too bold," James Black said as he reached out and deftly redirected the ice cream Jane was about to put into her mouth into his own instead.
Watching Jane Sampson staring at the now empty spoon with a wronged expression, James Black let out a chuckle. Even so, she still dared to pretend and try to please him.
