Tania slept for most of the day. When she had woken up in the afternoon, she saw a tray of food placed for her on the bedside table, covered with a red crochet. She knew that Eltanin had left it for her on the table so as to not disturb her. He was really taking such good care of her that her guilt was eating at her. Removing the cover, she saw a salad of chicken mixed with lettuce and olives and pickled anchovies, sliced fresh pineapple and buttered bread. Hungry, she munched on her food quickly. She then went back to sleep.
