I sank my knife into the meal, letting the cheesy center ooze out and spill onto the sizzling hot plate. I lifted it to my mouth along with the cheddar cheese topping. The hot juices from the meat filled every corner of my mouth.
"I've been craving this for a really long time!" Nagi blew her hamburger steak before taking an enormous bite.
As she chewed, her hands cradled her cheeks, and she squeezed her eyes shut. She let out an enormous sigh.
"This is heavenly! Wow... it's been a long day."
Nagi let her arms go limp and sank into the sofa with her eyes closed. She looked as though she had realized just how exhausted she was.
As requested by Nagi, I had topped each patty with lashings of cheese and had also garnished it with crunchy cheese crisps. Heavy on our stomachs? Damn right it was! Coupled with the rice and soup, she was going to be happily well-fed.”
