“About your request for a special dinner. I thought that it might be better to set up the dining table in Hayden’s living room. The dining table is bigger there and so is the room. What do you say?” Auntie suggested hopefully.
“Oh sure…I’ll leave it up to you,” I replied.
“That’s great. Also, I’ve arranged for some special decorations, if you’re free, it would be great if you can come and have a look. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve overdone it or not…” Auntie said, and I could hear the uncertainty in her voice.
She went and arranged for decorations. What kind of decorations? Why do we need decorations for a dinner?
It was then that I started to realize that the image of a special dinner that I had in mind was very different and probably humbler and more normal than the one that Auntie had in mind.
“Umm…sure. I’ll head over there now,” I said.
“Thank you. I’ll wait for you but you better hurry, Hayden will be back soon…” Auntie said excitedly before the line disconnected.
