Once Lily started eating Severus looked at the food on his plate, he did like Fish and Chips but today he had the odd urge to blame it for not being able to hold Lily's hand.
He started eating it anyway, the quiet wasn't bad or awkward, it felt comfortable. He liked the time with Lily, he still felt a little nervous but not as much as before. Lily had held his hand, that was a good sign, right? Right!
