I reached forward and grabbed the big piece of leg of chicken and then without any thought, I bit right into it. For some reason everything tasted exceptionally delicious today. The flavors lingered on my tongue like I had been starving for months. The succulent meat, perfectly seasoned, melts in my mouth. Despite the fact that I wasn't alone and I could feel eyes on me, I just didn't care and continued to eat.
I was just about to reach for another piece when Heather cleared her throat. I halted casting her a sideway glance but I turned only to see her motion her head to the family watching me. Swallowing the last bite of chicken, I carefully set the bone back on my plate, my cheeks burning a little.
