Susan took another sip of her wine, oblivious to the tension in the room between Chardonnay and everyone else for the most part. Her brother seemed happier now, and though Adelaide was being stubborn, that wasn’t at all uncommon. Adelaide was happy now, eating the scallops. ”These are so good!” Adelaide exclaimed, taking a second one and eating it before anyone else could steal it from her. She loved eating food! Especially good, expensive food.
”Don’t hog all of it, there’s other people here.” Arthur said, taking a bite of his own. The sensation was odd, but it didn’t taste bad. In fact, it was fairly good. He glanced at Chardonnay as she ate and sent her a small, attempting-to-bring-peace smile.
”You lucked out, Olivia. I wish I could have married a good cook. I wish I could have gotten married at all,” Susan said, only a hint of sorrow in her tone before she took a general swing of her wine. ”Thomas is an amazing cook, and to have come from a restaurant as a kid too? That’s a big shoe to fill. That’s also why I admire you, Chardonnay!” Susan said, leaning forward slightly and smiling at her former student. ”You’ve got such a good restaurant! Every time I’ve driven past it or looked it up online I’m always so impressed!”
At Olivia’s question, Susan hummed, tapping her chin. ”Well! The hardest thing for me was driving. My advice is make Arthur your bitch,” Arthur choked on his drink and Susan grinned. ”I mean, chauffeur! Oh, I’m classy, I swear. I know to help with the morning sickness, I drank water with lemon every night. I boiled the water with the lemon, and then I drank it. It really helped ease my tummy! Uhm... If you think of any other issues, I may have a solution!”
