Chapter 34
Romeo sat down next to Rosemary, holding her hand tightly and handing her the menu. "What would you like to eat?" Rosemary took a gander at the menu, picked a few dishes haphazardly, Romeo padded the order with a bunch more. As the manager ducked out of the room, Rosemary arched an eyebrow,
"Mind letting go now?"
Romeo asked demurely and seriously, "Can we hold it a little longer? Just for a moment... It’s a sight for sore eyes during the day too, I’ll bring you here next time, alright?"
Rosemary stayed mum. After a beat, the manager waltzed in with a few chefs, dishes in tow.
At lunch today, Romeo had taken note of the dishes Rosemary didn’t touch, and the ones she seemed to fancy, so he had a rough idea of her taste and ordered accordingly.
"All this grub, you think you can polish it off?" Rosemary eyed the spread, a good twenty dishes laid out before them.
"Slow and steady." Romeo’s one hand was still holding hers, the other serving her dishes.
"Can I have my hand back now?"
If he didn’t let go, she wouldn’t be able to eat!
Romeo smoothly let go of her right hand, only to deftly snag her left one.
Rosemary was speechless.
