Cecilia Adler decided to make some egg noodles.
When Cecilia took out a ceramic mixing bowl to scoop some flour, Vivian Lee said nothing.
But when Cecilia cracked five eggs in a row, Vivian Lee spoke up. "Five eggs for just the two of you in one meal?"
Cecilia replied, "Is there a problem? It's not like we're eating your food. Nowadays, I can eat whatever I want, as much as I want, and no one says a word to me about it."
Back home, May Sutton counted the eggs every single day.
The poached egg she had placed in Ian Quincy's bowl during their first meeting was one she had secretly set aside days earlier while making egg drop soup.
She had been saving it for herself, wanting a little extra nourishment.
Who would have known that they would arrange for her to host Ian Quincy? She had agonized over it for a long time before finally giving the egg to him.
