We all laugh at this. Even Amber laughs at herself.

“It’s true!â€? She giggles, “I was grounded for weeks!â€?

We laugh until the main course finally arrives. I try some and it melts in my mouth. Is this really what the food is like in England? If so, it’s amazing.

“This is really good!â€? I say with much enthusiasm.

“I thought you would like it,â€? Edwin says.

I smile. Was he really thinking of me when he picked our dinner?

“Really, that’s so sweet,â€? I gush back.

We all eat in silence, enjoying the food.
