The Big Reveal
A week later, his mother came over with bags full of groceries. She was excited to cook one of Annie’s favorite dishes, pasta alla carbonara. As his mother cooked the pasta, the kitchen filled with the rich aroma of pancetta and garlic. Thad saw Annie enter the kitchen, her face lighting up at the sight of the ingredients.
But when the dish was served, Annie only played with her food, pushing it around her plate without taking a single bite. Thad felt a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched Annie discreetly throw away her plate of carbonara when his mother wasn’t looking.
