She grinned and eyed his broad chest. "That's probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me," she chuckled. "Come on. There's a chill, and I want to be warm."
Rather than a full blown meal, she'd made them a charcuterie tray that held a variety of delicious offerings -- several different cured meats and tasty cheeses, honeyed pears and figs, grapes, carrots, handfuls of mixed nuts, olives, crackers, and thin slices of crusty bread spread with imported butter. While it wasn't artfully presented, she didn't much care about presentation at that point. She only wanted some of that delicious food in her belly and a warm fire to dry her hair.
The fireplace was as impressive as the rest of her home. It was situated in the wall in the main living area below the TV. She set her tray and glass on the marble hearth and reached around the side to light it. After a hiss of gas and a popping nose, the flames sprang to life, dancing orange and blue along the fake logs that hid the burners from view. A large rug covered the cold marble in front of the couch, but a thicker fur rug and several pillows held court in front of the fire. Sofia sank down into the plush fibers of the pristine rug, propped up by several cushions. Without any fanfare, she started picking out her favorites. She'd supplied two forks, but she only used hers on the sticky foods. The rest she plucked out with her fingers.
