Chapter 34: Two can play at this game.

(Cry POV)

After the exhibit, Leon and I had a complementary gourmet dinner in his hotel. We sat at the VIP table and Esmeralda served us our dishes and a bottle of champagne.

"This is our flame grilled rib-eye steak with red wine sauce reduction, parsnip puree, sautéed mushrooms and a zucchini salad." She described.

"And for the other one, that is veal Milanese, with chimichurri sauce, risotto and a tomato arugula salad. Please enjoy!!"

"Thank you!" Leon and I both said.

My stomach grumbled and I became hungrier than usual. When I sliced a piece of steak and tasted it, I groaned as a response to its explosion of flavor.

"What do you think, angel?"

"It is seared to perfection and I can taste the rub. I can tell they seasoned it aggressively, the red wine sauce and parsnip puree complemented it really well." I said

"Wow, that is really flavorful, isn’t it?" Leon said after taking a bite.

"Let's try the veal."

I sliced it and put it in my mouth and suddenly...

Mm!
