Ella Lacey stared at him, leisurely asking, "Dr. Stuart, how was your date with Tercy yesterday evening? Come on, tell me all about it!"
"..." Alexander Stuart felt his cynicophobia acting up...
Was that even considered a date?
It seemed more like Tercy's solitary drunken venting...
However, he wouldn't betray Miss Mason, so he forced a smile and said, "It was pretty good. The restaurant cooked really nice dishes, suited to my taste."
Wow.
Is anyone really this honest?
All he remembered about the date was the food?
Ella Lacey wasn't satisfied with his answer and cunningly asked, "Apart from the food being good, was our Miss Tercy good? Did you show up well? These are what's important!"
"Everything was good..." replied Alexander Stuart, choosing his words carefully.
"Dr. Stuart, are you just rubbing it in?"
