[Growing up the way Nat did never afforded her the kind of luxurious food that she treated herself to now. On some jobs she ate at the very best restaurants in the world, and others at some of the poorest. It all depended on the day.
Days like this one were the best though. This was where she wanted to be most, spending her own money going out with someone she adored and watching them chow down on something that they would appreciate as much as she did.
Food never lost its fascination. It's like bringing in a stray cat who never was afforded the ability to have real affection or a steady diet-- they never took it for granted once they realized what it was that was set before them.
After Steve reported the chef's brilliance, Nat took a bite and closed her eyes, savoring the collection of exotic spices as they spread across her palate. ]
You aren't kidding. This is now going on regular rotation. This is lovely. It's got all the right spices. I need more.
[several more bites were had before she said a single word, and then it was only Yum. Food was also the greatest silencer of communication. After the tip of her appetite was silenced. She sat back and took a sip of wine.]
Thank you for this, it is really so good. We should never tell anyone else about it.
