"Couldn't agree more with you, Val. How funny it is to think we sit here together a week after we arrived here. I thought Joanna disliked us being here and ignored us." The sound of low laughter echoed in Alenna Garden.
"To be honest, the timing for you and Valerie to be here isn't right, Aunt Camille. Had you come to visit me here earlier when I was in my better condition, we would have done so many things together instead of making you think I ignored you while I was recuperating." Joanna's voice was heard afterwards.
A kind smile graced her face as she opened the lid of a pot that was filled with water on top of the burning charcoal clay stove. Finding the water was not boiled yet, Joanna put the lid back to cover the pot before looking at the two ladies across from her with a smile.
