"Why can't you leave it in the back seat?" A certain someone grumbled, feeling displeased.
"I'm driving here. Given how much traffic there is, the food will spill easily."
It's just one meal. Do you have to overreact? Skyler retorted but still reluctantly took the food jar from her, not saying a word more.

Matthew returned a smile when the couple exchanged a glance, seemingly consoling her.
