The meal on the dining table did not interest her at all, but her taste buds sprang to life when Susan brought over a slice of cake.

Susan recoiled as if the cupcake were a venomous snake. Her smile crumbled into a scowl. “What’s the matter with you? I’m trying to be nice here and cut you a piece of cake. You rejected it and even dare to push me!”
