In My Desperate Time

“What's the good news?”

He is smiling, but I always feel like nothing good is happening.

He stands up, walks towards me, and says in a cold voice, “Let’s go out for dinner. Let’s talk about it when we come back.”

Frances Louis wants me to guess. Darn it! He just wants to torture me since I am always being curious for all kinds of things!

I want to ignore him, so I grit my teeth and say, “I am not hungry”, then I go upstairs.

Anyway, I ate at four o'clock in the afternoon, and had a snack in the evening, so I'm not hungry at all.

But now it's over ten o'clock in the evening and Frances Louis hasn't had dinner yet, does it mean he was waiting for me?

But why doesn’t he call me and tell me to come back? Or has he just gotten back too, and hasn't had time to call me yet?

I couldn't figure it out, so I quit.

“Jane Noyes, I'm hungry.”

Frances Louis begs with soft voice, like a helpless child.
