Bab 227: Nothing Should Taint Their Happiness

"I brought your food. Why didn't you come for dinner?" Danny asked, concern coating his soft tone. He placed the plate on Abby's table and pulled her to her feet, forcing her to leave the comfort of her bed. She sat on the chair while Danny perched himself on the table. Abby half-heartedly opened her mouth when he offered to feed her.

She ate half of the contents on the plate and refused to eat more, pretending her stomach was full. "It seems as if the lamb is being fed and fattened before it's sacrificed," she said jokingly, but Danny heard the accusation underlining her tone. Her words stung, and Danny felt guilty for putting her in such a situation. It was clearly visible she had been crying.
