Emy's siblings quickly rushed to meet Maria. They hugged her, much to the woman's astonishment. Reed merely stared at María. Maria grabbed the arms of the young people who had embraced her.
"Eat up. I know you're exhausted from the journey," Maria said.
Eddie, Emy, and Reed pursued the kids to their seats. When everyone had taken their seats, they stared at Maria, who was still amazed.
"Don't you enjoy the food I cooked?" Maria asked.
"Why don't you eat with us, Maria?" Eddie asked.
