Neither Tom nor Lucy said a word as Tom drove the car out of the garage and down the street. He had no idea where he was driving to since he wasn't very familiar with the environment, so he just kept his eyes on the road so he wouldn't miss either a pharmacy shop or a grocery store.
"So why haven't you eaten all day?" Tom asked, trying to break the silence in the car.
"I got carried away with work at the office. Only just realized now that I was yet to even have anything apart from coffee," Lucy explained, grateful that he was talking now. She couldn't deny that the silence had made her very uncomfortable and nervous.
"Have you always had such a poor eating habit or is it because you're new here and at the job?" He asked with disapproval.
