Savoring every forkful of the shrimp salad and alternating with sips of the wine, I was determined to enjoy this meal but that didn't mean I relaxed any. I kept one eye on Miki and the other on Victor. If either of them looked like they were going to make a dash for it, i was ready to portal them right back to the table.
The rifts in our friendship may not be erased by this meal but I'd be damned if either of them escaped before the last spoonful of dessert was eaten.
Seeing the bottle of wine was nearing the end of its life and the waiter was no where in sight, I subtly opened a portal to the wine vault and brought up another bottle. It wasn't like I was stealing it as Victor would be charged at the end of the meal for the bottles.
Without having to be told to, I poured another glass for Miki.
