Alicia sat by the bed. reading the letter and smiling she admired how persistent Maxwell was, when she heard he had left, she thought he was angry about the kiss and decided to leave her.
She was glad it was not the case, she hugged the letter with a smile on her face
"I heard you have not eaten anything since you arrived," the chief's wife said walking into the room.
She looked at Alicia. She was looking pale and slimmer, the oversized skirt made her look even more skinny.
"I am not hungry!" Alicia said still holding on to the letter.
"You need to eat something child, No wonder you are so slim" the chief's wife teased, smiling at her joke but Alicia couldn't get the humour.
Alicia wasn't what people called slim she wasn't as thick as the chief's wife but she wasn't petite either,
