Ella & Jesse McCree
It wasn't lost on her that things had been keeping her husband awake at night. Ella had hoped that exploring the other countries would be a good distraction, but something had been different today in Gibraltar. She wasn't quite sure how best to ask him about it but she would always do her best to be reassuring. For the moment, that meant placing her free hand on his forearm, just to physically remind him that she was right there by his side.
"I couldn't possibly refuse such a generous offer," she declared with a wide smile as she speared a bitesized piece of steak. It was absolutely delicious, as expected, and she tested each of the sides as well. "I am determined to cook such a juicy and flavorful steak myself. I will ask Google to help me find the perfect recipe." It was more a mental note for herself once they were returned home, but she hoped it might brighten his mood a bit.
"That should be tomorrow, I would guess, given this party." Ella was definitely looking forward to going home, if only because her son wouldn't choose to not be with her, but she thought it might soothe him, too. "Have you enjoyed yourself so far?"
