"You're just going to accompany me dressed like that to eat soup dumplings?" He glanced at her attire.
She zipped up the front of her down jacket entirely and said, "It's late at night, who's going to care what I'm wearing? Do you want to eat the dumplings or not?"

A moment later, two steaming bowls of soup dumplings were served. As Alice ate, she asked, "You were with Kyle Kinston today. Were you two celebrating the Lantern Festival together? Why didn't you have dinner?"
