Celeste was quiet for a long moment, and then she spoke, her voice soft. “You’ll find out everything as time goes on ”

I nodded. “Okay.”

After a while, I told her it was time for supper, and she followed me to the kitchen with a skeptical look on her face

“This time,” I said, opening the refrigerator, “if I cook for you, no one will interrupt and make you lose your appetite ! guarantee it.”

She shook her head and reached past me for a bowl. “Do not worry. I will do the cooking.”

“You are my guest.” I tried to take the bowl from her hands. “You deserve to be pampered. It is in the rulebook.”

“You can make it up to me some other time. Right now, you need rest. You have been through enough.”
