Affairs

"Thank you for understanding."

We were in the middle of discussing the daily affairs of our village when a knock on the door interrupted us. I immediately allowed the visitors to enter. As they stepped inside, I noticed that they were new citizens of our village and they had brought dinner for us as a welcoming gift. I couldn't help but smile and welcome them warmly into my home. They placed the dinner on the table and I got up from my bed to take a seat at the table. Chloe, my companion, also came and sat with me. I gestured for her to wait before digging in, as I wanted to acknowledge our guests first.
