Chapter 56: The magic was over

Talia released the breath she was holding when the food arrived. It was a much-needed distraction because, for some unknown reason, she was flustered like never before even though Damon released her hand in order to hold utensils.

A massive plate of food was placed in the middle of the table and Talia was not sure where to look first.

There were different cuts of steaks, grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, and there was some salad also (mostly as a bed for all the meaty delicacies).

"I recommend that you start with this one.", Damon said while placing on her plate a piece of roasted meat that was wrapped in bacon. "It's tender and juicy."

Damon cut the bite-sized piece before offering it to Talia on a fork. He fed her previously, so she didn't think much before accepting it.

"Mmm…", she hummed in satisfaction as the flavors exploded on her tongue. "It's more than just tender and juicy. It's the best thing I ever tasted."
