148 The Misunderstanding

"Grandpa has told me everything." As the words seemed to almost echo in the room, Nora looked up at Demetri and Demetri stared back at her, the silence charged with tension.

Carefully, Demetri straightened and stepped away from her. He looked down at the bags that were tightly clenched in her hands and slowly took them from her hands. Instead of saying anything or even trying to explain himself, Demetri turned and started to spread out the food on the table.

Seeing his calm expression and his unshaken silence, Nora could not help but frown," Are you not going to say anything? Grandpa William has told me about Nellie! How can you be calm after knowing that I know the truth? Are you not going to even explain yourself?"

Demetri looked up from the food on the table and carefully plated the food, handing her the sandwich as he nodded," You can ask anything you want to know, Nora."
