"I remember clearly that you don't like cilantro. When we eat out, if they put it in your food, you make me pick it out." Sophia was startled, but she didn't show it.

""You must be mistaken."

Sean frowned, racking his brain.

"Maybe it was Rose who doesn't like cilantro. Like last time, I got it wrong. She loves taro cake, and I thought you did."

"So Rose and I have very different tastes," Sophia commented.

Sean didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard her.

She went in, knelt beside him, seeing his dazed expression. She was slightly scared.

"Honey?" she called again.

This time, Sean snapped back to reality, his eyes showing confusion when he saw her.
