The situation was indeed unusual. Ever since Laura had made her way back, Zach had taken to ensuring he was present at dinner each night. He maintained a convincing facade, yet what truly occupied his thoughts remained a mystery.

On that particular evening, his pallor seemed more pronounced than usual. When Laura extended a piece of food toward him with her fork, Zach abruptly swatted it aside. “I’m perfectly capable of serving myself if I wish to eat. Spare me your insincere gestures,” he retorted.

Laura ceased her movements, lifting her eyes only to be met with several concerned stares.

Laura shook her head gently. “It’s fine, Father. It was unintentional on his part.”

“I assure you, my actions were intentional.” Zach’s mood was notably sour that day, “Surely, I’ve not reached the point where I can’t even make my own choices about what to eat or drink.”

This veiled insinuation didn’t escape Josie, who made a stylishly late entrance and seated herself with poise.

“Who’s to say you can’t eat? There’s no need for such outbursts here,” Mark reprimanded.
