Arnav had honestly expected Raellyn to crave something sweet to chase away her foul mood. Perhaps a slice of cake, or some warm pastries paired with hot chocolate. But to his surprise, she had chosen meat. Not just any meat, but a full-on carnivorous feast. Apparently, her emotional turbulence had manifested as an intense desire for protein. Still, that wasn’t something Arnav minded at all. If indulging in premium beef was what it took to lift her spirits, then so be it. He would gladly take her to the fanciest restaurant in town and let her order every cut of meat on the menu if that’s what her heart desired. And clearly, she had no reservations about picking the best of the best. The place she chose was a high-end steakhouse known for its imported wagyu and meticulously aged ribeyes.
