Chapter 18

That evening he went to dinner as he usually did and found a seat at the end of a table where nobody else was sitting. John wasn’t there, a fact for which he was entirely grateful. He ate only a small amount so that his stomach remained relatively empty, and to keep up appearances. When he could no longer tolerate his nerves, he cleaned his plate into the rubbish bin, returned the plate to the counter and returned to his room.
