I couldn't immediately recover after hearing what Luther said. The way he looked at me made it clear that he wasn't joking. My heart suddenly raced as I stared at him. I couldn't think of anything to say except to call his name.
"L-Luther—"
"Here's your food, ma'am and sir. We have a free parfait for couples. Enjoy your meal!"
I just thanked the waiter as he brought our food and placed it in front of us.
"Thank you," I said to the waiter and smiled. After he left, leaving us alone again, I looked at Luther as he picked up the two plates of steak.
"Forget about what I said, Thaliana. I don't want you to feel awkward around me because of what I told you."
I took a deep breath. That might be the plan, but does he really think I can just forget about it so easily?
