Veronica could see he was avoiding her comment and that meant her guard had to go up again. She sniffed the soup checking for anything that might be in it. She lowered her spoon and dipped it in the broth and pulled it to her lips and tasted it. She wanted more of the wonderful soup and continued eating it. "This is amazing, how you learn how to cook?" she asked and then wished she hadn't. She looked at the fan and smelled something.. Minty. She sniffed  again and shook her head thinking she was just smelling things. Veronica smiled drinking the last of the soup and sliding off the island to get more.
