To remove the tension still left in the dining room, Eloise reached for bread and placed it on Damien's plate as a peace offering.
"Are you trying to fatten me up?" Damien asked, waiting patiently for Eloise to continue with her good treatment.
"It is a peace offering," Eloise explained.
"You weren't the one who upset me. Next time, you should take my suggestion to have dinner alone in our bedroom," said Damien.
"Dinner and breakfast haven't gone well so far, but the dining room exists for a reason. I like having dinner here and sitting with you," Eloise said, hoping dinner would stay as it was. "It reminds me of when I would sit with my parents. When the others are ready, they will join us."
Eloise continued to place more food on Damien's plate as it appeared to calm him. "You must eat as well. It is a shame your cooks prepared a good dinner, but it is only the two of us to enjoy it."
"We are having guests, but they are late," Damien shared, only now remembering his plans.
