It had taken John exactly one minute to have auntie Rosie wrapped around his finger. She did not want to hear anything bad about John from that moment and they became best of friends. Even Nathi chat with him now and again seeing that little by little he was melting and soon they would be best buddies. I watched all this as we sat inside the house on the round table with all kinds of food set before us yet I stuck to the starch and the vegetables since I was not supposed to eat any meat they gave me.
It was a weird tradition and I sure would acquire why so. My spoon went up, my appetite really having left me for the first time in a long time. I did not want to eat, I just wanted to talk to John and have him all to myself and lunch was taking more time than I would like.
