"Thanks baby girl," he said smiling at Layla as she left him some salad.
He took a bite of it.
"This is really good Layla," he said. He twirled some more of the spaghetti on his fork and took a bite, making another Mmmmm sound as he did.
When Layla was sitting again he leaned over, nuzzled his with hers and kissed her cheek. He moved a hand to her back, rubbed it over her back gently and said "Food is really great baby girl."
Then he looked over at Jack.
"So Jack, how have you been since I last saw you?" he asked with a smile.
