Elena and Carlos occasionally glanced at each other, as if they couldn't bear to hear the harsh sighs that kept coming from the woman in front of them. There was no sound or any discussion, they were all busy with their thoughts.
Until the food they ordered came, Anna never took her eyes off the menu that was presented in front of her.
"Please, madam," said Elena. Yes, the woman shared the same table with Anna and Carlos. The two of them would not leave Anna alone.
Hearing that, Anna only responded with a nod and then started to taste the food in front of her.
Her movements were extremely sluggish as if she was heavily weighed down by something.
"Eat a lot, madam," Carlos said to the woman, feeling a little pity.
"Um, thank you," replied Anna shortly.
They then ate dinner in silence. Every mouthful that entered Anna's mouth, she thought hard, how could she escape.
