Living In Denial

Sophia has been sleeping all day, since they got back from their trip. It's already 6pm, and she is famished, so she decided to go downstairs to the kitchen, probably Akpan can fix her something to eat.

"Good evening ma" Akpan greeted her as she entered the kitchen. He was stirring something in the pot that was on the gas cooker.

"Hi Akpan good evening" Sophia sat on a chair in the kitchen sniffing the air.

"What are you making?"

"Fresh fish pepper soup" Akpan replied, as he continued to stir the contents of the pot.

"Wow, it does smell really nice" Sophia salivated, as she was dying to eat something.

After unpacking some of her things when they got back, she went straight to bed, and has been sleeping ever since, until hunger pangs woke her up.

"Would you like me to serve you some?" Akpan asked as he tasted his cooking for salt.

"Yes please, I'm really famished"

Akpan took out a plate, and served her some.
