Tears filled Mrs. Davidson's eyes. She moved her plate to Nathalia and said, "Don't be silly. Have mine." Silly girl. You are too sweet. How can I not love you?
Nathalia moved the plate back to Mrs. Davidson, and with the same happy grin, she said, "Mum has been waiting for us all night and worked hard at the kitchen. This is for mum."
"I was just joking. There's some more in the pot. One plate isn't enough for you two." Mrs. Davidson said, "Spencer, why don't you go and take out the pot and another plate, please?"
"Sure." Spencer was all smiles and hurried into the kitchen.
The family ate quietly. Spencer couldn't help watching Nathalia now and then, who had all her heart on her plate and satisfying her tummy. Affection filled his eyes.
