Pleasant words were always appreciated, and Marcia, grinning, encouraged, “Mrs. Dreskin, have a taste first."

Acknowledging the anticipation on Marcia's face, Claudia agreed, "Okay."

Having savored sausages during her concert tour, Claudia's memory of their taste lingered. A few days ago, when Marcia inquired about changing dishes, Claudia, recalling her fondness for sausages, casually mentioned them.

Amid Marcia's expectant gaze, Claudia took the first bite.

“Very good, Marcia," Claudia praised sincerely, savoring the flavors.
