"Thanks for doing me a solid today. If you think the food is alright, my wife should dig it too." Marcus said sincerely, with Cornelia not sensing any ulterior motives from him.
Thankfully, she didn't stuff herself at dinner, so she had room to sample his cooking.
Once they were seated, Cornelia expected Marcus to eat first, but he nudged the salad bowl towards her, "Give this a try."
Since she was his taste tester, Cornelia didn't hold back.
She picked up her fork. Being allergic to shrimp, she left it on the side of the plate and only ate the veggies.
"You don't like shrimp?"
"No, it's not that," Cornelia explained, "I've been allergic to it since childhood."
Marcus immediately pulled the salad back to his side, not letting her eat any more, "Are there any other foods you're allergic to?"
Cornelia shook her head, "No."
Without asking any more questions, Marcus made a mental note of this.
He pushed some pasta towards her, "Try this."
"Sure." The tender rib-eye steak with the richly flavored tomato pasta was delectable.
