Episode 40: Troubled

Days go by with the working house still tense. Mia has refused to eat with everyone else which bothers Bell a lot but Mia constantly tells her that she has eaten which is not false. Due to the environment and no progress on how to work out the case they are working on, Henry decides to apologise to Mia.

Mia goes to the kitchen and grabs a green apple from the basket. She rinses it and is about to bite it when Henry speaks behind her. “Tired already?”

“Of?” Mia takes a little bite of the apple

“Not eating”

“Who said I don’t eat? I don't lie to Bell when I say I’ve eaten. There is a purpose why a restaurant was created”

“I see” Henry nods

Mia tries to walk past him and Henry holds her hand. “What?” Mia’s tone sounded greatly offended

“I just wanted to apologise” Henry lets go of Mia’s arm and continues “I… we were all wrong for thinking that of you and I condoned it so I’m sorry on my and their behalf”
