always stay at home. Why didn’t they acknowledge Loraine’s skills at cooking?”
Jimmie pushed his shoulder and flashed him a warning glance.
He mouthed, “Are you blind? Don’t you see how upset Marco is?”

In a gruff voice, Marco muttered mockingly, “They asked Loraine to cook because they wanted to make Loraine
look bad. They didn’t eat the food she made.”
