Description
"I've been saving this for myself, b-but if you're willing to come with me to my brother's wedding reception I can give it to you." He shakily held out a flimsy magazine cut out. "I don't think we'd make a good pair." I shook my head sadly getting ready to leave. "P-please?" He looked up at me from behind his bangs as he shoved the paper into my hand. 'Free premium extra special steak meal at an S class restaurant!!!!' in big bold yellow font. I stared at him in disbelief, no way, how could such a coupon exist? My eyes glazed over as I looked up at him, this coupon is the key to something I could only dream of eating. Gone were the days of 45 grains of rice in a bowl of watered down cabbage soup. I salivated at the thought that I could finally eat premium beef steak. It was the object of my dreams, the thing I could only stare at pictures and imagine the heavenly taste of, until he gave me this coupon. "S-so will you go with me to the wedding?" He asked while pulling back the coupon in my hand, reminding me it was not yet mine. "I'm only going because I just remembered I actually have nothing planned that day and it would be boring to stay at home." I answered nonchalantly while acting as if the coupon had nothing to do with my decision.
