You're about to decline Wanda's offer when your stomach begins to groan loudly.
"I wouldn't be opposed to dinner," you admit sheepishly, causing your wife to smile.
Without warning, you find yourself being lifted into the air once more by nothing.
"One more thing. What exactly is this?!" you question while flailing around.
"Oh. I have powers that are pretty much like magic," she explains with a shrug as she begins walking towards the kitchen. You levitate behind her all the while until she passes the dinner table.
Slowly, you're deposited onto the center of the wooden surface as a multitude of plates and silverware float into position.
"I'll get dinner made. It shouldn't take longer than a few minutes," Wanda calls back before making her way into the kitchen.
"Oh. She just has magic. That's not an important detail at all," you murmur under your breath. You can still feel your stomach doing somersaults from the unnatural movement.
Sure enough, you only end up waiting for about five minutes before Wanda returns with a large plate covered in steak and mashed potatoes.
"Do you mind sharing a plate with me? I couldn't find anything that was good for your size," she explains as she takes the seat in front of you. In response, you can only nod as your mouth begins to water due to the delicious-looking food.
With the plate levitated onto the space in between you and Wanda, the two of you dig in.
Initially, eating the meal is somewhat difficult with the piece of meat being larger than yourself. To make it easier for you, Wanda cut off a few pieces small enough for you to pick up.
"So....how exactly did we meet?" you inquire before taking another bite.
"Well, it all happened when I moved into my old apartment. After a while, I started noticing some food I left out going missing. I thought it may be a mouse, so I set up a cage with some bait overnight," she explains with a soft smile, reminiscing fondly. "When I woke up the next morning, I ended up finding you instead."
"I scavenged in your house?" you question, a bit confused. This doesn't explain how you got to be this size.
"That you did," your wife chirps happily. "I couldn't hurt such a cute thing such as yourself, so I let you live with me. Eventually, sparks flew and we ended up falling in love."
Okay, that seems somewhat plausible. Again, the only problem you still have is.........wait. What was the issue you had with the explanation? It has completely slipped your mind. Maybe it wasn't that big of an issue after all.
Accepting the explanation, the two of you end up going through the rest of dinner in comfortable silence. Occasionally, you'd engage in some small talk, but neither of you felt the need to drag it on further.
"Thank you for the food," you state politely as Wanda begins cleaning the table, which just translates to her using magic to clean and return every piece of silverware to their proper place.
"It's no problem at all, Honey," Wanda calls back to you as she's putting her cup in the sink.
You're about to reply when something ends up interrupting you.
What exactly is it?
