When Shirley Thorne randomly threw out those food requests, she never expected to be called out on it to her face.
"I need to get back to my drawing. Officer Warren is in a hurry for the sketch."
She pretended not to catch the teasing in his tone and took a step back. When he didn't react, she quickly turned, pushed the door open, and left.
Ethan Grant watched her go and smiled wryly.
Even after she left and was sitting in front of her drawing board, Shirley Thorne was still cringing so hard she wanted to crawl into a hole. However, the most awkward part was yet to come.
Susan Langley had actually, freaking, prepared those two dishes!
[Shirley, could you check the menu? If there are no problems, I'll go grocery shopping based on this!]
Shirley Thorne: ...
To be fair, the menu Susan Langley had drafted contained plenty of dishes she loved.
She could already imagine the look on Ethan Grant's face when he saw this menu, and she knew it would be utterly mortifying.
