"Shall we?" Latifah invited, gesturing towards the food-laden table.
Latifah led the way and the Head Waiter pulled out the chair for her to sit down. She did not sit at the head of the table, but instead, across Zero and Lily. After all, she wanted to get to know them and not have the standing of being an 'elder' at the dining table.
When the waiter took a step forward to pull out the chair for Lily, he stopped and then stepped back. Zero smoothly went and did it instead.
The waiter had been sensitive enough to the death glare that Zero gave him when he took that one step and he knew better than to insist on anything.
Latifah saw this little gesture and took note of it.
Her son may be indifferent and cold, but it was obvious that he was very meticulous in care with his loved one.
Would he ever be like that to her?
