Skylar hadn't expected Joe to be so considerate, thinking of sending her the menu in advance so she could choose.
This small gesture brought back memories of their past together, making her feel like she was stepping back in time.
The traffic jam was most likely caused by an accident. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to a complete stall.
As she waited in the traffic, Skylar browsed the menu and picked a few dishes—some she liked and some she knew Joe enjoyed.
She wondered how authentic the dishes would be.
Some restaurants had adapted their recipes to local tastes, making significant changes so that the dishes, while having the same name as they had back in Jipsburg, tasted quite different.
"Just these?" Joe asked.
Skylar replied, "Have you been to this restaurant before? How's their tomato-basil fish stew?"
She had a craving for fish stew and hoped it would be delicious.
"I haven't tried it here, but we can give it a go," Joe replied.
"Sounds good," she said, deciding it was worth trying.
Veronica was actually a fantastic cook, and during the three years Skylar had been in Murida, she hadn't had the chance to cook herself often.
However, Veronica wasn't well-versed in spicy food. With Gloria's tastes in mind, she usually made dishes that were light and mild. Skylar would only cook something spicy for herself when she had a particular craving.
Thinking back on those three years and scrolling through her chat with Joe, she suddenly felt as if those years had been a dream, almost like they hadn't really happened.
The honk from a car behind snapped her back to reality—the traffic had cleared.
Within minutes, she arrived at the restaurant. Skylar walked straight inside after parking her car.
