Bad Aphrodisiac

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I can hear beeping sounds coming from my watch as I dial Misty's number.

Suddenly, she picks up her call…

(Hello, honey~)

"Hi, dear…." I reply cautiously. I don't say much because her voice sounds exhausted.

(Honey, are you there…?)

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I think there was a connection problem. Why is your voice different tonight?"

(I woke up in the evening and started making dinner for you, so I'm quite exhausted. Yeah, I know that you might be thinking that vampire food doesn't take much time to cook, but this food is a little different. It's something you haven't tasted before. I took my time to prepare it.)

"I see…."

(Mmm, you don't sound like your usual self, Jake. When are you coming home tonight?)

"Misty, I don't know how to say this, I'm very sorry. But I don't think I'm coming home tonight. I am very sorry Misty, I ha—"

(B-But t-the food….)
