☝️ – Tap my muse on the shoulder
Newt had been walking down the street, case in hand when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He paused, not sure who was there, but he turned to see–
“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?
Newt contently began to eat, enjoying his first taste of home in a long while. After a short while, he offered Carlos one of the chips. “Would you like to try one?” He asked.
Carlos looked up curiously. “Oh!” he said before he swallowed the food in his mouth. “Um, you sure?”
“Of course! You’ve never had them before, right? It’ll be a day of firsts.” He said with a smile.
Carlos smiled at him and reached to take it. “Thanks,” he said, and he put the chip in his mouth.
As Carlos chewed he hummed appreciatively. The potato was crispy, but like Newt said it was soft on the inside. And the salt just gave it a nice touch. Carlos hummed again, smiling at Newt.
“I think I’ll be getting this next time I eat,” he said truthfully. Not because it was better than the other dish, but because he wanted to give it a proper try with the fish for a meal.
