Capítulo 21: Chapter 21

The day after the arrival of Sophie and Emma, Lukas announced that he should go and ask a friend if they had news about job offers, and therefore he had to go out.

”There's a lot of stuff to eat in the fridge and on the shelves. Make yourselves at home,” he offered generously.

”I’m leaving the keys here,” he informed them, hanging the key ring on a hook by the door. “The inside handle is broken and you can’t open the door without the keys, so if I took them with me you could not even get out to go to the bathroom.”

“Thanks.”

“Don’t lose them, please!“

Maybe because of the strong emotions of the last days, or the anxiety of not being sure of how they would get their next meal, but Sophie felt hungry like a wolf.

Still she tried not to overstuff herself and empty poor Lukas’ pantry.

Emma settled in a chair and began to knit: “I hope that the wool I brought will be enough to finish this. Now I'm almost done.”
