Alex looked into his tray.There was a slice of pie, with jam-like syrup slowly dripping from its side.Next to it sat a roasted chicken leg, still glistening with juice from the coals.He slid the meat toward Hati, who eagerly devoured it, tail wagging.Then Alex looked at the rest—a half-fried egg, and a thick slice of toasted bread. He sprinkled some pepper and salt on top and dug in with fork and knife.He washed it down with a mug of steaming hot coffee.It hit the spot.
In Selene's tray, the meal was a little different.She had four pancakes, topped with sweet apple cubes, dripping in thick syrup.Beside it was a slice of the same pie Alex had, and a cup of steaming mocha.She took a bite of pancake with her fork, then a bite of pie, and sipped from the mocha.She giggled like a little girl, enjoying every bit of her food.Alex just smiled, watching her in silence.
