Mademoiselle by Lesley Whyte

"Excusez-moi, nous voudrait à order."

"Naturellement, mademoiselle."

"Je voudrais les escargots de Bourgogne et puis… va comment le blanc de boudin?"

"Superbe, mademoiselle."

"Hm. Pas, je voudrais le coq au vin."

"Certainement. Et pour vous, monsieur?"

Alex squinted at the menu. He'd left his reading glasses at home, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of Jade, but they wouldn't have helped. "Uhh...that," he said, stabbing at something.

"The andouillette? Excellent choice, sir."

The waiter took their menus and left them. Jade took a sip of the wine she had chosen, which was
delicious, and then smiled.

"Andouillette. I'm impressed. It's an acquired taste," she said.

Alex started sweating.
