"Luca, I'm here." Vivian's voice came from behind the door.

"Can I come in?" Luca heard her muffled voice and guessed that she had probably been crying.

"Luca, I want to be alone right now." Vivian turned her down.

Luca sighed and said, "Aunt Neile told me that you've been in your bedroom since noon and haven't stepped out since. Let me in and tell me what's on your mind, alright?"

"Luca, it's alright. I'm just sleepy." It took several seconds for Vivian to reply.

Luca felt helpless, but she did not feel great leaving Vivian by herself. She toughened up and said, "If you don't open the door for me, my only option would be to ask Aunt Neile to come and open the door."

Vivian stayed on the sofa. After she heard what Luca said, she knew that she had to let her in, so she went to open the door.

"Luca, I'm fine..."

Luca saw her puffy eyes and shook her head helplessly. "Your eyes are all red and you want me to think that you're okay?"

"My eyes are just a little itchy today," Vivian said.

"Do you already know?" Luca walked into the guest room and closed the door. She pulled Vivian to sit on the sofa.

"Huh?" Vivian looked at her in surprise as she did not expect Luca to know what was on her mind even before she said anything...

"We had steaks, but they didn't taste like the ones that Aunt Neile usually makes. It was more of a Russian technique. Vivian, what did you find out?" Luca probed.

Vivian's mood had been stable the past few days, but she suddenly lost it on that day. Luca knew that it must be related to Gordan.

Vivian nodded and replied, "He doesn't eat anything that has tomato in it. I suspected something when Aunt Neile mentioned that she had to prepare three portions of lunch because you had a guest. I offered to help Aunt Neile prepare the steaks, and I knew for sure when Aunt Neile said that the guest didn't like tomato sauce..."
