Zoe's eyes lit up at the mention of Alex's college notes. She had always been curious about his university days but never felt comfortable asking. Having access to his notes would be a treasure trove for her. She beamed with delight.
"Thank you for sharing!"
Zoe arrived at Alex's house just before noon, which explained why she brought groceries. The previous week, she had been shocked to find his fridge almost empty, and his kitchen stocked only with rice, flour, and some wilted vegetables. This experience had been an eye-opener for her.
She still remembered Alex's nonchalant expression when he told her, "Eating is just a means to sustain life. Nothing to be surprised about."
