Chapter 17: Pitiful romance

I stared at the soup, then picked up the spoon to scoop some of it and eat but before I got the chance to do so, my stomach rumbled again. This time audibly loud.
!!!
It made my cheeks flush, but what further brightened my face was the sound of snickering that came from Hael.
I turned my face to glare at him
"What!?"
"No, nothing," He shook his head, "You're hungry," He passed me a haughty smile, "I'll get you something solid to eat as well." With that, he turned around and left to get me something more. I watched him leave. My eyes refused to stop following him and only when he was out of sight did I turn my head back to the soup.
A familiar sense of abandonment crept in as the room fell completely silent. Tonight was a reminder of how unwanted I was in this family. I wiped the tears away before they got a chance to come out and then filled my mouth with soup.
It was tasty but at the same time soulless.
