So she knew he was upset about the Twitter stuff and tried hard to please him?
"You go wash your hands, and then we can eat," Jane Sampson said, oblivious to what James Black was thinking, and served him a very dutiful-looking plate of food, even dishing up a bowl of rice for him.
James Black stood there for two seconds before going to wash his hands, then settled next to Jane Sampson at the spot next to her.
No matter why Jane was trying so hard to please him, James had to admit that one aspect of Jane, her culinary skills, was beyond reproach.
When he returned home every three to five months, what he looked forward to was probably the bountiful table of delicious meals that the dutiful Jane would prepare for him.
After James sat down, Jane eagerly served him vegetables and soup. However, with every move she made, she would glance at his face, and each time, quite coincidentally, she found James staring at her.
