"Honey?" My mom entered my room.

She took away my still filled plate of roast beef, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.

"You haven't eaten for so long," she fretted.

"Okay," my mom stifled a sigh, and leaned forward to press a kiss on my forehead. "But promise to get out of the house?"

I didn't say anything.
