Chapter 62: Meat in the Park.
"Mmmhh." Bethany moaned with her eyes closed as she chewed on the one of the numerous chunks of beef Theo had mixed for her in a very spicy tomato sauce.
"This is heavenly, Man." She said, with her mouth full.
"Told you." Theo said, taking a huge bit from his own food.
"We should bring the cook to the pack, or you guys could hire he or she at your hotel, I bet you’d make tons from this." She said, taking a bit of her orange juice to help ease a bit of the spiciness.
"Oh trust me, I tried for three years. But she kept saying that people on the streets deserve good food too and, honestly, I have to agree."
"She’s right though. Wealthy people already have a lot of luxury, it’s wise to let the poor have this." She said leaning back in her seat.
"Yeah, it is." He said. "What’s wrong? Why did you stop?"
"Oh no, I haven’t. I’m just taking everything in. I’ve never been to the city before, never tasted their food, or seen much of their people. I just want to take it slow. Besides, this park is really pretty. I’m sure Ethan would have loved it here." She said as she watched a bunch of kids play in the park with their parents and guardians.
"Whose Ethan?" Theo asked, taking a forkful into his mouth.
"The small guy I saved earlier." She said, picking her fork. "There was so much longing in his eyes. I wanted to take him with me but, I’m sure that’s not how things happen here." She said chuckling quietly, stuffing the chunk in her mouth.
"Yes, love. It isn’t. But you might meet him again some day. It’s a small world." He pacified.
