"This is spicy." He tasted a wing and looked at her. "What's wrong?" 

"Nothing. It does look spicy." She tried to forget about the kiss that nearly happened and picked up her cutlery.

"Are you going to speak to Angel?" He asked to stall her.

"Of course." She sat back down and waited for him to give Mabella a video call. "I still can't believe you covered all the bases. How much time did you have to plan this trip?" 

"A day." He lied and made the call, not letting her have the time to catch on.
