Not A Dinner Date

"Honey!" Dmitri called Lanny's attention.

Lanny turned to him with a frown on her lovely face. "It's LANNY. Not Honey! Honey is not my name. Stop calling me that!"

Dmitri just chuckled upon seeing the annoyance on her pretty face. He just loved teasing this woman.

"Don't be upset. Come with me. I'll treat you to dinner. You don't have to cook tonight!" Dmitri excitedly invited her.

Lanny raised her eyebrow, eyeing him suspiciously. "Really. Perhaps, you are getting tired of eating my delicious recipe? You don't like my cooking. Just be honest."

Dmitri smiled and scratched his face. "I didn't mean it like that. Can you stop twisting everything I say? I just want to show my gratitude by treating you to dinner. You've been an amazing hostess these past few days. I feel at home here because of you. You're taking such good care of me."
