Katherine had just eaten a brunch and was not hungry at all now.
She continued to lie on the yoga mat and meditate.
Marshall sat on the sofa, and his cell phone rang soon.
He thought it was the takeout service.
It turned out to be Mrs. Grant's call.
He looked at Katherine, thinking that she was asleep over there.
He thought for a moment and answered the phone.
Mrs. Grant said tonelessly, "Marshall, are you off work?"
Marshall said, "What's the matter? Is something wrong at home?"
Mrs. Grant paused and added, "No. It’s Clara. She comes to visit me."
Marshall remembered that Clara said on the phone last night that she would come to see Mrs. Grant.
He said OK.
Mrs. Grant added, "If you have nothing to do at noon, come back for dinner. I cooked several dishes. It’s all your favorite."
Marshall did not look at the time. "No. It's too much trouble."
Mrs. Grant sighed. "No trouble. Why don't you go there later in the afternoon? They’ll say nothing."
Marshall still said no, but before he added something, he heard the voice of Clara over there.
Clara was helping Mrs. Grant and asked her with a smile, "Auntie, which plate is better for this dish?"
Mrs. Grant replied to her, and then said to Marshall, "Fine, if you don't come back at noon, then come back tonight."
Marshall sighed and agreed.
And then he hung up the phone.
Katherine was lying still and seemed to fell asleep.
Marshall waited for a while, and the delivery man came.
He went outside and brought in the lunch boxes.
He ordered a lot of things that were packed in two handbags.
Marshall went to the dining room.
As soon as he walked by, Katherine opened her eyes.
It smelt fucking good.
It was much more attractive than their conversation just now.
Katherine did not move. Marshall put the food on the table and then stood at the door of the dining room, staring at Katherine lying nearby.
