Excerpt:
He called for the check and I stopped him. “Shouldn’t we get something for the road?”
“Two sandwiches.” He told the waitress. “One egg and one vegetable roll.”
I stared at him. “You ordered for me?”
Robin nodded. “Yes, I didn’t want to waste any more time having menus handed over to us so you can deliberate.”
“I may not have wanted a vegetable roll.”
“You don’t eat eggs. You don’t eat meat. As a vegetarian, that is your only option.” Robin asked for the bill when a waitress passed by.
“How did you know that? Just because I didn’t order eggs now...I do eat them, I just didn’t feel like it.”
“I know,” Robin said. “It says on your profile that you are a vegetarian. Not a vegan. I remember that.”
“Oh,” I said in a small voice. Of course, that was how he knew. How else would he? I watched him as he checked his phone and when he did look up every now and then, it wasn’t at me. I was starting to get frustrated. Why wasn’t he interested in me?
