Chapter 57: Story Of Scars

Danica enters the kitchen. 

Alfred was wearing a black vest and simple pants. He was taking out a glass baking tray from the microwave.

He catches glimpse of Danica as he keeps the baking tray on the dining table. 

"Why are you standing there, babe?" Alfred said while keeping the tray on the table

"Come here" he adds

"I was looking at...." Danica says as she takes out a chair and sits

"At me?" Alfred adds teasingly and sits beside her

Danica lets out a brief laugh out of confusion.

"Well, I was looking at the food, not at you" Danica replies and brings the tray closer

Well, you know, she lied. 

She was looking intently at Alfred. 

"You should be looking at me and smiling ear to ear," Alfred said dramatically 

Danica chuckles

"Yeah, now, l want to eat" Danica replied and was about to cut a piece of lasagna

"No, wait," Alfred said

Danica looks at him promptly

"What?"
