Tommy spread his hands to Sandra Block as if he had seen a ghost, "How could he possibly be dead? An Army alumnus serving in Germany told me three days ago about his time as an aide-de-camp, accompanying his commander to the Liberty Night Club in Germany to drink with your father and enjoy the songs..."
"So, you should know better than I do whether he's alright," Sandra Block said with a hint of sarcasm in her gaze as she interrupted Tommy.
Tommy, cut off by her, seemed a bit taken aback, his face showing a hint of surprise, even turning to look at the decorative painting on the studio wall, where a mess of colors and lines were embedded into the wall, beneath which was a line of small text "The Girl Eating Pancakes".
"Can you tell which blotch represents the girl? And where the hell is the pancake?" Tommy stared at the decorative painting for two seconds before turning his head and locking eyes with the black-haired girl of German descent.
