"Aunt Sara, I'd like to propose a toast to you. Here's to your good health, and may everything go your way, said Sergio in a gentle and elegant manner. He then raised his wine glass. "
"Good, good, replied Sara repeatedly as she lifted her wine glass. ""Sergio, I'm still taking medicine, so I can't drink much. You, however, must eat well, and drink well."""
"After saying that, she took a sip of the wine and put the glass down."
"Yup. Sergio was very forthright, finishing the red wine in one go. "
"Come, dig in. Sara took a piece of stuffed eggplant, Jenna's specialty, and delivered it into Sergio's bowl."
