A Scandalous Man

The rest of the dinner was dull. Sharon and Dion conversated most of the time claiming that they were teaching her but she was not learning at all.

All she could feel was the difference between them. She could not be like them. She did not want to be like them. At one point, she started counting the floating peas in her soup and the flowers on the ceiling. She did not feel the desire to eat that much either.

"You did not like the chocolate?" the sudden voice startled her. She noticed that lady Sharon had left at one point and they were sitting alone in the room. She had seen her moving but she never thought that Sharon would leave. The woman had been on the table for hours. Abi's back was still by sitting straight for such a long period of time.

"You haven't eaten anything better. You do not like the meal?" he asked again when she did not reply but kept looking around as if she was searching for anything.
