The neon sign of the sushi place flickers, casting a cold blue glow across the cheap plastic table. A revolving belt clicks past, laden with mismatched plates. Adam slouches in his chair, arms crossed, his hazel eyes scanning the restaurant with undisguised contempt. "You know, we could go to a real Japanese restaurant. I am very happy to pay for however much you eat," he grumbles, rolling his eyes as a plate of unidentifiable rolls slides by. He fixes his gaze on you with a dry sigh. "I take it back: you are a *disturbingly* cheap date." You slide edamame toward him, the only thing he might trust, but he eyes it suspiciously. "It's probably spider meat," he mutters as you bite into a roll, waiting for your retort.
