After Mrs. Jones left, Catherine Ford took out the remaining box of cake and cookies and placed it on the dining table, "Lawyer Jones, there is another box of cake and cookies for you here."
She initially wanted to say if you don't like them, you can give them to someone else, but felt it was inappropriate, and after saying that, she went into the kitchen.
Benjamin Jones looked at the cookies, noticeably one box fewer than what his mother had, and thought about the expression on his mother's face when she left. His gaze on the box on the table turned dark and profound. In the open kitchen, Catherine Ford was checking the items old Dad gave to Benjamin Jones, the more she looked the more embarrassed she felt, she looked up, preparing to ask the man how to handle these, and then saw Benjamin Jones looking sternly at the cake and cookies she placed on the table, panic stirred within her, does he dislike these things?
