Cooking at midnight

"Would you like to eat something? I am feeling a bit hungry?" Sasha's voice was too low that even she could not hear. Aaric read her lips and understood what she said. Wait? She ate two bowls of rice at the dining table and she is feeling hungry?

"Did I say something wrong? It's not too late to eat something.' At the end she just shrugged that thought away. First she needed to get out of this awkward silence. But why was she worried when the culprit was standing in front of her and focussing on his coffee.

"Yeah sure. I did not eat anything tonight." Aaric gulped down the remaining coffee inside the mug and both of them went out of the room.

Downstairs, inside the kitchen Sasha was sitting on the kitchen slab while Aaric was standing near the refrigerator and wondering what he should cook.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Anything which won't take long. It's getting late."

"Is it?" Aaric smirked when he saw that just now she remembered that it was late.
