Hannah and Jarvis' conversation had long been overheard by Pandora, who was busy in the kitchen. She listened while going about her business, not saying a word. She believed that their love dilemmas were something they had to figure out on their own. When their conversation ended, Pandora finally peeked out from the kitchen. "Hannah, you and Jarvis tidy up the dinner table and move it outside. We're dining in the yard tonight."
They were going to grill fish in the yard, eating as they cooked.
"Okay," Hannah replied.
The dining table was a large round one, with a detachable top and legs. Jarvis, being the strong one, could move it by himself. "I can handle it," he said.
"Why not we split the tasks? You take the top, and I'll handle the legs. Two heads are better than one, right?" Hannah suggested.
"I asked you to be my girlfriend, and you refused. Your leg hasn't recovered yet, and I asked you not to move the table, but you still insist. Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?" Jarvis retorted.d2
Before Hannah could reply, a commotion broke out outside. "Is Jeo home?"
"What's up?" Jeo asked.
"Farley's been bitten by Roger's dog. You better come and have a look," came the anxious response.
Dropping the fish he was handling, Jeo, still wearing his fish-smelling apron, rushed out. "Why would the dog suddenly bite someone?"
"Who knows when a dog would bite?" the man shrugged.
