Because she was also my social worker, we had to keep the relationship aspect quiet. Stuff like that was frowned upon, but in my opinion, the fact that she was both my social worker and my girlfriend helped me a lot.
One time we passed a mainstream fast food place. She stopped and looked at the pictures of the massive burgers on the menu. I wondered what she was thinking? Neither of us could afford this place. Then she said "I have a plan! My treat!" before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside.
It had been a long time since I was in there or had eaten food that delicious. She ordered the biggest burger on the menu and nothing else. I asked her what was going on and she said "You'll see!"
We got the burger and we took a seat in a quiet corner. She opened the box and this huge burger was inside. Then she scraped all the lettuce, tomato, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, coleslaw, onions, pickles, mustard along with several other vegetables into the box. She then gave me the patty in the bun with some ketchup. She knew that was my favourite and I was happy at seeing the larger than normal patty. She had a makeshift salad with all the junk she took out that I didn't want. It was a pretty big salad, bigger than the standalone ones on the menu even.
We ate happily our first nourishing meal in quite a while.
