Cornelia thought he genuinely liked it and was about to make more toast. "President Hartley, if you like it, you can have more."
Marcus replied, "Okay."
Briana, watching Marcus, whispered, "Bro, if you don't like it, don't force yourself. If you upset your stomach, that'll be a pain in the ass."
Marcus retorted, "If I didn't like it, why would I eat it? Do you think I am an idiot?"
Briana said, "You know, I didn't notice until you said it, but you do look a bit dumb right now. You're just like our old husky."
Marcus glared at her, "What do you know?"
His wife made the toast and prepared the dip for him. Even if he wasn't used to it, he had to eat it, and a lot of it. He had to support her.
Briana teased, "Bro, I remember you once told me love is the emptiest thing. You'd have me believe pigs can climb trees before you'd have me believe in love. Look at you now, you're like a fool lost in love."
Marcus hesitated, "This... this is love?"
Briana replied, "Isn't it?"
