Gladys was the first to run over and sit down at the dining table. The food was mostly home-cooked dishes but tasted delicious.

The old lady said to the old man, “If you’d told me earlier that there’d be a guest, I’d have gone shopping.”

“I get it,” the old man said impatiently as he ate.

“See, he’s so impatient after just a few words.”

Pursing her lips, the old lady served Philip some food and said, “Have some more. If it’s not enough, I’ll keep cooking.”

Philip nodded. Putting aside their identities and his son’s problem, Philip looked forward to such a retirement life.
