Because of some unforeseen event, Alice ended up staying at the orphanage. She is sharing a room with headmistress Lily.
During her first night at the orphanage, Gabby discovered that Alice was not a snob. You just have to know what picked her attention.
It turns out, Alice is a foody. She doesn't just eat food for pleasure. She is studying the food while eating.
Gabby had never seen her gleam like that before, making him understand why Bryan was so entrapped by her. If you look behind the ugly oversized clothes, huge eyeglasses and wavy hair, she's actually really pretty.
Bryan called that night spoiling their conversation and Gabby decided to just continue with bread making when he noticed the time on the wall clock and wondered if Alice would like a glass of milk.
