THE ETIQUETTE LESSON

"From the beginning, please, Detective," D's calm demeanor was belied by the twitch in his otherwise perfect smile.

Leon rolled his eyes but complied. He dipped his spoon, pushing away from himself as D had instructed, into the soup then brought it towards him. He blew gently to cool it before slipping it into his mouth without a spill or slurp.

"Excellent job!" D beamed.

"Thanks," Leon grinned then released a belch as loud as a gunshot blast.

D blinked and desperately tried to hold onto his smile. "And what do you say?" He prompted.

"My compliments to the chef!"
