"Barbecue. You know, I'm not sure I've actually had any before, really. I mean I've had some burgers my dad made on the grill... You should teach him how to make the other stuff." She'd had some at a carnival she thought but never fresh made. And certainly never by Robert Leckie.

She let her hand drop as he took bite of salad, happy to let him eat since she was hungry herself, she just hadn't realized it until she started eating. She took her own bite of salad as he spoke and she swallowed before she gave him a warm smile, feeling what he said was the absolute truth. "I'm glad to be here with you. I don't want to be anywhere else since you've been so amazing to me. Seriously."
