Not knowing whether Ethan Laurent would definitely return or not, she prepared very few dishes, all seafood.
But even though there were few, it still took her quite a bit of time.
The main reason being her limited cooking skills; she could handle simple kitchen tasks, but more complex ones were beyond her proficiency.
The four dishes tonight each took her at least an hour.
After everything was prepared, Summer Ford stood in front of the dining table and looked around, feeling like something was missing. Then she found a few candles to light on the table and replaced the roses originally on the table with a fresh bouquet.
By the time she was done with everything, it was already eight or nine o'clock.
She stared at the flickering candlelit dining table and took out her phone, feeling pleased with herself as she snapped several photos to save.
Ethan Laurent did not come back, nor did he call to say anything.
