Sadie glanced at the simmering pot on the stove, then back at Millie with a puzzled look. "Ms. Millie, the chicken soup isn't ready yet. What are you doing?"

"Just do as I say and stop asking questions," Millie snapped back, her impatience clear.

Millie kept up her façade of sincerity. "Beverley, I'm here to apologize. I was out of line yesterday, and I shouldn't have snapped at you. Look, I made this chicken soup for you this morning. It's still warm, should be good for your health."

Beverley scoffed. "Apologize? That's like a weasel coming to wish the chickens a happy new year. You're the last person I'd accept anything from, let alone your soup."
