Corinne pushed away Tommy coldly. “No, thanks. I don’t want it.”

Tommy quickly shot out his hand to stop her from closing the door. “Miss Corinne, Mister Jeremy woke up early this morning to make this soup for you. Won’t you at least try it?”

Annoyed at not being able to close the door, Corinne said angrily, “So what if he cooked it? No law out there says I must eat whatever he cooks!”
