Emily expression slowly melted as the taste spread through her mouth.
Her eyes widened first in surprise, then narrowed in bliss. A tiny, almost inaudible hum of satisfaction escaped her throat.
She leaned forward slightly, muttering to herself, "This is even better than strawberries…"
And then, without hesitation, she scooped up another bite and stuffed it into her mouth.
Her cheeks puffed out slightly, making her resemble a chipmunk more than anything.
She didn't notice Isaac watching her until it was too late.
When her eyes finally met his, her chewing froze.
A blush bloomed across her cheeks.
She turned her face away, hiding her expression behind her hand and hair.
"I'm glad you can taste it." Isaac smiled gently.
Emily gave a quiet nod, still not facing him directly.
But even from the side, he could see her smiling.
After dinner, the group split up for a while.
Selene quietly helped clean up, occasionally glancing at Isaac when she thought no one was watching.
