СКАЧАТЬ Once he said a blessing over the food, he poured into crystal glasses a crisp white wine complementary to the seafood.

      Steamed snow crab legs, grilled shrimp, rice pilaf and the fresh salad Ethan had prepared for dinner looked very appetizing.

      Dakota had put a nice portion of everything on her plate. A little worried about getting butter sauce on her dress, she shielded it with a couple of napkins. Ethan cracked the crab for her. Removing the meat from the shell with a fork, he placed it on her plate.

      Dakota liked the attentiveness, loved how well Ethan treated her. He seemed to enjoy doing nice things for her and he also liked to make her smile. Being in his company was a tremendous joy for her, just as her presence was for him. When he’d asked for them to talk more, she hadn’t thought it was an unreasonable request. Dakota hoped she could open up to him about everything, but she knew it wouldn’t come all at once.

      A few minutes later Dakota put seconds of everything but crab on her plate. “This rice pilaf is the best I’ve ever eaten. You have to teach me how to make it.”

      “I’d love to. It’s simple. I’m pleased you like the food.”

      “Everything is delicious. Mind pouring me a little more wine?”

      “At your service, my lady.”

      “Are you originally from California, Ethan?”

      “Born and raised not too far from here. I graduated from Torrance High School and went to the University of California, Dominguez Hills.”

      “I hope to transfer there in the winter term. It’s close enough to my apartment for me to walk to classes.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
