"Just because you haven't seen me do it doesn’t mean I can't." He lowered his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.
"Besides doing farm work, there are many things you haven't seen. When the kid goes to bed at night, I’ll show you."
"What sort of things?"
He spoke in a light tone. It did not seem awkward for him, but I blushed instantly.
I felt as if someone would hear what Theo had just said despite being in a foreign country and there being many passersby. I looked around in panic, making Theo laugh even louder.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that people will hear me? Even if they do, they won't understand, silly."
He said while reaching out and pinching the tip of my nose.
"Excuse me."
Theo lowered his hand, and a waiter come over to put a small plate on our table.
"This is a special dessert from our restaurant for you two. Please enjoy."
The waiter's English was not well enunciated, but I felt he was one of the better English speakers here.
Theo and I looked at each other, not understanding what this meant.
I looked at the other tables and did not seem to see this pink cake on any other table.
"Is this some kind of special event?" I asked curiously.
"It's a special feature of the store.
Whenever we meet a sweet couple, we give them a pink dessert from the store. Today's special happens to be raspberry cake, so it was brought here for you two."
I laughed, happy to hear such a description. However, I was also embarrassed.
