Chapter 57
Tanin shifted on the bed, resting her hand on her belly as she stared at Damian with tired but expectant eyes. "I'm hungry," she murmured, stretching slightly.
Damian, who had been sitting beside her, immediately perked up. "What do you want to eat, love?" he asked gently, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.
Tanin bit her lip thoughtfully before saying with complete seriousness, "I want... peanut butter and pickles, topped with whipped cream and… hmm, some boiled eggs on the side. Oh! And don't forget a glass of chocolate milk with lemon juice."
Damian blinked. Once. Twice. His jaw twitched, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he stood up, grabbed his jacket, and left the room without a single protest.
Tanin giggled softly as she watched him leave. "I love you!" she called after him, but he was already out the door.
