When Joshua snapped back to the present, the small table was already loaded with food. There were green beans, beef, and a steaming bowl of soup.

"Wow, you've really gone all out," Joshua said with a warm smile. "What's in the soup?"

Joshua's eyes filled with concern. "Does it hurt?"

Allison shook her head. "Not at all."
