"You don't need to apologise. It seems that I am the winner in all of this, as I get to enjoy your cooking. I will stay out of the way while you enjoy your time with Millie," Damien said, lifting Eloise's right hand to his lips and brushing a warm kiss across her fingers. "Unless you send for me to help you."
Damien wasn't much of a cook, but to spend time with Eloise, he would cut vegetables or learn other skills if needed.
"It is kind of you to offer, but I don't need your help. Millie and I are almost done. I have been enjoying hearing what I missed in my time away. Perhaps you could go and see that Aiden isn't harming himself," Eloise replied, glancing back towards the doorway as a thud echoed from outside.
