Dinner argument

Alicia thought she could be able to draw Harold's attention during dinner, but the guy just had to snub her and look ahead as if she did not exist. At this point, she was beginning to get fed up. Why was it so difficult to get his attention? She couldn't believe she had stayed away from dealing with men, only to find herself dealing with a stubborn one here. 

"You do not like the food?" The queen asked when she noticed, just like everybody else, that she was not eating much. 

She looked up at the queen before forcing out a smile. 

"Of course, I do. Thank you," she said meekly. Honestly, she didn't like most of the meals they had here. She was craving noodles, pasta, pizza, burgers, soft drinks, and a nice chilled beer. If she had known she would end up like this, she would have given up her boring dietary plans and had everything she wanted.
