Chapter 28

'Did she come down for lunch?' Chris asked the housekeeper as he sat on the sofa in the living room returning from his office.

'No Mr. Finch. Ms. Hazel hasn't come down since morning' she answered humbly.

'Fine, let me go call her, you set the table' he instructed getting up.

He knocked the door of Hazel's room,

'Come in' a faint voice answered.

'Hazel' he called out opening the door.

'What?' she asked tossing to the other side in her bed not wanting to face him.

'You still didn't wake up?' he asked walking over to her bed.

'Nope, I don't want to' she answered angrily covering her face with her blanket.

'Stop being childish, wake up Haze! Let's go down and eat, it's already past 1:00 p.m.' he said trying to take away her blanket.

Hazel slowly got up and sat still on her bed looking at him with half-opened eyes.
