“Maria actually got out of bed this morning,” said the mother. She had a big smile on her face.
Carlos went out the door and returned with a place setting. He then served the food on our plates. I just wolfed down the food. I was starved. I wondered why Maria didn’t always wake for breakfast. It would probably make her more mellow.
“What did you do with my daughter?” asked the mother.
Was I spotted? I looked to Clara for help. She just shrugged. Carlos stood by the door smiling.
The mother smiled too. “I don’t know what it was, but I am glad you are eating again. It’s been almost a month since you lost your appetite. The doctor said he was worried.”
