Chapter 20

~A WEEK LATER ~

"What are you doing?" Romeo asked as he walked into the kitchen to see Marie cooking.

"Preparing our lunch" she replied.

"But lunch is still four hours away and besides we only eat out during lunch" Romeo said.

"Lunch being four hours away doesn't mean that I can't cook it down and besides I want a change of scenery today. So let's eat at home and dont worry about my condition, the food will certainly suit your palate" she told him with a smile on her face.

"Come help me taste this?" She said and he walked towards her to taste the stew she was making.

After wiping his mouth with her apron, she waited for his reply.

"It's yummy! I can't wait for lunch" he said excitedly.

"Are you sure? It's not that you are just saying it to make me feel better?"

"Am sure my love, it's really yummy" Romeo said and she nodded turning back to her cooking.

"Should I head to work first or should I wait?" He asked.
