Cat Raise the Dead
“At least she’d wangled a meal alone in her room, though to gain that privacy she’d had to pretend a pounding headache. Solitary meals were against policy at Casa Capri unless you were fevered or throwing up. The home’s owner-manager considered anyone who liked to be alone as mentally crippled or suspect. “We put a high value on everyone making friends; we’re one big family here.” The longer she was in Casa Capri—and Thursday would mark her second month—the less she could abide this enforced clo...seness. The whole structure of Casa Capri seemed to her rigid and heavy, reflecting exactly Adelina Prior’s overbearing manner.
And today the food was just as unpleasant, the plate before her loaded with a pile of overdone roast beef and gluey mashed potatoes and canned gravy that smelled like sweet bouillon cubes. She knew she was being a bitch, but why not? There was no one to hear her even if she grumbled aloud.
Usually the meals were wonderful, when Noah was in charge of the kitchen.MoreLess
