~ ROWAN
Unlike all the other days where the dining table was filled with more food than one person could possibly eat, I'd opted for a simple dinner with just the two of us.
Nyssa kept her hands tightly pressed to her side and I couldn't help but notice how she tried to avoid my eyes despite the fact that we sat right next to each other.
It'd take a while to get her comfortable around me… I knew that much.
"Thank you," she whispered softly, reaching for the plate of food in front of her.
I'd asked the maids to go all out with steak, mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. It was a meal worthy of a fine dining restaurant but Nyssa didn't as much as acknowledge it except for her earlier expression of gratitude.
She just shoved a forkful into her mouth and chewed quietly.
I suppose it was fitting that she barely paid me any heed now when I'd been an ass to her earlier. It was my karma for not accepting what was right in front of me.
