Eventually, they turned down a corridor that led to the food court. Most of the food stands were open. There were clusters of tables surrounding a running carousel in the middle. The music of the carousel couldn’t be heard over the voices, the noises from the kitchens, and the mall music overhead. The lights from it were a little dazzling, and the dancing horses drew attention to it.

It was getting on 11 o’clock. The smell of pizza, pretzels, and Chinese food overtook Silas’s senses. He hadn’t eaten breakfast, something he probably would have asked for that morning on the way to the mall if Sang hadn’t distracted him.

He felt the rumble begin and dropped his hand to his stomach, covering it. It didn’t do any good. His stomach growled loudly.

Sang looked up at him, and her face lit up. She pressed her lips together, like she wanted to laugh but didn’t dare.

He liked that. He nodded at her. “I think it’s time for some lunch.”

“How about sushi?” Victor said. “Do you like fish, Sang?”

“No fish,” Kota said. “Not after last time.”

“I wasn’t going to take her there,” he said.

Silas shot Victor a look. He certainly hoped he wouldn’t think to take Sang to that place. It had been a new venue, a real ritzy place, and exclusive. Victor’s dad had mentioned it, and they should’ve figured that if Victor’s father has suggested that, there was something weird about it.

While they had been allowed in because Victor was part of the Morgan family, they shouldn’t legally have been. There were partially naked girls on tables... Actually, the girls were the tables. Men ate sushi off of them.

Their group had been completely disgusted and walked out.

A place like that probably wouldn’t last long in Charleston, anyway. It wasn’t the sort of spot for that.

Victor sighed. “Sang, what do you want?”

“I didn’t bring any money, guys,” she said, her cheeks turning pink again. “You all pick something you like. I’m still kind of full from breakfast anyway.”

While she was saying that, her eyes turned toward the food stands. Silas didn’t quite believe her and assumed she was just being polite. “You’re getting something,” Silas said. “Besides, Victor’s paying.” He didn’t like to pressure anyone, but when it came to things like food, he didn’t mind insisting. It was in his Greek genes perhaps, but everyone needed to eat.

She seemed surprised by this. Didn’t anybody ever offer to pay for her lunch before?

Victor nodded, seeming eager to go along with it. “It’s my turn anyway.” Victor often paid. It wasn’t that Kota or Silas didn’t carry money with them. Sometimes, it was just easier for Victor to use his card.

Victor offered to take them all somewhere else, but Kota said the hamburger place there at the food court would do fine. Silas wasn’t sure why Kota wasn’t eager to take Sang anywhere else besides the mall.

Was she not allowed to go anywhere else? Was that why they were staying for so long with her here?

They all filed into line at the hamburger stand to place an order.
