Ethan had cooked a few dishes, just enough for the two of them. “Have a taste of this,” Ethan said, handing Madelyn a piece of honey- flavored pork rib. Madelyn took a bite and exclaimed, ‘ Yummy!”

Even though she wasn’t going to regular classes, she had her own study plan. The current class progress didn’t matter much to Madelyn.
