The Arrangement (unenhanced Edition) by AnnaRCase (books to read now .txt) 📖

“It has a face, Leo.”

Amberleigh was trying not to gag again, as she put some distance between herself and the delicacy, which had yet to catch on in the United States. Though it wasn’t hard to see why.

“Yes, its embryonic duck. Aged just right, it tastes like chicken and just melts in your mouth. Goes down smooth like cream cheese,”

“How old is that one?”

“Oh, these ones have formed bones and some feathers. Just will have some extra crunch to them. Still perfectly editable, safe, and nutritious I assure you.”

She allowed her conscience to weigh in for about three seconds, and wondered if perhaps this was a bit too far. But the chef knew best and she wasn’t going to lose any sleep tonight over this. No, she would lose sleep tonight over other reasons.

She pulled a flower from the vase and laid it upon the tray as the final touch, before with pep in his step, Leo carried the tray out of the kitchen. She laughed to herself as she felt no remorse. She only wished she could be there to see Grayson’s face as he dug in. The chef had certainly just given new meaning to Bone appetite.
