Ariel Jones was a bad influence, Tristan decided as he watched her pack up all of the stuff she had brought with her and place it into her bag.
He should have been hard at work( something that he was doing very little off lately). But instead he had just spent his time sampling everything that she had made.
"Just pick something that you like. Share your recipe with the chefs, and they will make it work," That was what Tristan should have said the moment she had shown up unannounced.
In his defense, he had opened his mouth to tell her just that. But somehow opening his mouth had ended up with Tristan doing so in order to swallow some food and do his best to give Ariel an indication of what he thought of what he was eating. In his honest opinion, everything had tasted fantastic.
