Upon Martha’s reassuring words, Lysander felt a fleeting wave of anxiety about her own kitchen dissipate- as she leaned forward to peek inside. Everything appeared in order, allowing her to release the breath she didn’t realize she was holding.

Josiah found a small measure of solace in Martha’s encouraging comments and decided, “It’s getting quite late and there isn’t much food left. I think I’ll stop the lesson here lol

and handle the cleanup myself.”

“All right then,” Martha responded as she neatly hung her apron back in its usual place. She added, “Mr. Guerra, these things take time; you need to learn them gradually.”

“Thank you,” Josiah said, graciously escorting Martha to the door.

When Josiah swiftly returned to begin clearing the table, Lysander expressed her concern. “Martha isn’t young anymore, and it’s already late. How could you let her go home by herself? I’ll call a car for her.”

While Josiah was busy disposing of the spoiled dishes into the garbage bin, he replied, “No need, she won’t be going back just yet. She’s staying in the guest room next door; I’ve already given her a key.”

Lysander paused, her eyebrows arching in surprise. “She’s staying at your place?”

“Why would I?”

“Because she’s also a woman.”

“She’s a woman in menopause,” Lysander said with a hint of irritation.

“Josiah,” Lysander called out.

Josiah paused, still donning his apron, balancing a plate in one hand. His hair was disheveled, and there were streaks on his face–either from soot or sauce, it was hard to tell.
