“I’ve noticed you’ve been a bit off all morning. Have something sweet. It might cheer you up a bit. Quinton suggested.

Eileen gave a slight smile. “How did you figure it out?”

Eileen thought for a while and said, “There’s nothing I particularly enjoy. My father never allows me to do anything I like.”

“Do you like drawing? I have a painting here, Would you like to take a look?”
