"You don’t like seafood, do you?" I asked

She looked ather botto?" I said as I ran h my hair

"Well, I wanted you to have what you wanted" She said innocently

I sat there and stared at her I tried to think of why she would agree to come here for seafood when she didn’t like it It’s because she was a kind and generous woht of other people first I remembered the ti to be the one to show her so to order for us," I smiled as I waved for the waitress to cos, and a lobster tail for each of us Also, please throw in an order of broiled scallops"

"We’ll see about that," I smirked

She leaned over the table, "You’re a vicious ," I whispered

Just as Ellery leaned back in her seat, the waitress came over and set the calamari in the center of the table Quickly, Ellery took out her phone and placed it on her lap She was looking down at it and typing so Suddenly, her eyes widened, and I couldn’t help but laugh

"You Googled ‘calamari’ didn’t you?" I asked
