Seeing how satisfied I was with the meal, he seemed quite pleased.
A gaze that never left me from afar. I looked up and saw a woman in a pink dress, wearing a tasseled hair ornament, with skin as smooth as jade, red lips and white teeth, stunning at first glance, exuding an air of nobility, looking at me.
