บท 68: Personal space

[Bedroom] 

Keeping the tray with the soup and some sauteed veggies on the bed, Andrew gently patted Rachael's shoulder to wake her up. 

When she groaned, he said, "Rach, wake up and eat something." 

"Not hungry." 

"You still have to eat." He then grabbed her arms and lifted her up. "Come on, the soup will turn cold." 

Left with no other choice, she reluctantly opened her eyes. 

Placing the tray in front of her, he said, "Finish the soup and veggies." 

Looking at the hot steaming bowl of soup, she asked, "You made it?" When he nodded, she glanced at the watch. It was almost midnight. 

"Come on, drink it while it's still hot." He picked up the bowl and gave it to her before picking up the other one for himself. "I haven't made this soup for a long time so I don't know how it tastes." 

Taking a sip, Rachael exclaimed, "It's very nice." 

"Eat the vegetables too." 

She nodded and quietly finished her food.
