"You."
Here I was, asking a girl I had just met about dinner, and she answered with "you." How wonderful... I didn't know I looked that delicious.
Emeris covered her mouth as though she had only just realized what she had said.
"Oh... I mean, anything you want."
Even though she was pretending it had been a mistake, the amused expression on her face said otherwise.
After a moment of thought, I decided to choose randomly.
I pointed at what looked like the fanciest and most expensive restaurant within sight.
"Let's try that."
I wasn't going to pay anyway... Speaking of that, the others still owed me money. Maybe I should call them later and make them pay their debts. I might become a millionaire then.
We walked toward it while Emeris clasped her hands behind her back and hummed a cheerful tune.
Around us, students and couples moved about energetically, drowning our voices in the noise of the crowd.
