She dared him that she was going to eat more than him. It was true his girlfriend ate like a giant but he also knew that she wasn’t too fond of vegetables. That was one of the reasons he cooked with a lot of vegetables so that he could learn her to appreciate those too. “Ha, I want to see the day that you eat more vegetables than me”, he jokingly replied and looked at her suspiciously.
He thanked her for her kind words when she commented to him about the food. He reminded her that she also put a lot of work into it and that they should be proud together and not alone. “It was a team effort after all!”, he said out loud and drank some of the champagne that Snow just had refilled. He thanked her for the gesture and enjoyed the meal.
When most of the dishes were empty and he felt like his stomach was going to burst open, he let himself fall a bit deeper on his chair. He rubbed his stomach as in a sign that he was full. “I am so filled up, let's rest a bit before we eat dessert. We can open the presents!”, he said and he walked to the Christmas tree getting her present and gave it to her. He was quite excited to see what she would think of it.
