Words Are Unnecessary

Afterward, we decided to eat a late lunch together. I quickly had the chef prepare enough food for four people and then we all sat down around the table.

“Alan, how’s Phil supposed to eat if you keep glaring at him like that?”

“Then he simply doesn’t need to eat.”

“Oh, you. Phil, don’t worry about him. Eat as much as you like.”

“It’s fine. My chest always felt like it would burst when I had meals with you, so I’ve never been able to eat a lot.”

“I...see...”

He said it so casually that my cheeks began to heat up. Phil never ate much so I thought that was just how he was. But it seemed that he usually ate more. He cheerily told me that I was cuter than anything when I enjoyed my meal, so he was satisfied just watching me eat.

“I thought it was cold outside but phew, man, is it heating up in here,” Rex said. When no one replied to his jest, he smiled nonetheless and played it off with, “This salad is great.”

Next to him, Alan looked like he was torn as he cut up the main dish. The meat was sliced up so much that it was as if he had a grudge against it, and it looked quite grotesque. In any case, I decided to focus on the delicious food in front of me. But right as I decided that, I saw celery—my worst enemy—inside of the salad.

“Lady Viola, you mustn’t be picky!” The chef always said that. The servants of House Westley did their best to give me all that I asked for and more, but they were strict when it came to discipline. I started to bring the celery to my mouth, smiling like always, when I noticed Phil looking at me as if he wanted to say something.

“Phil, is something the matter?”

“I thought I’d secretly eat your celery for you.”

I didn’t expect those words at all and I blinked in surprise, a soft sound escaping my lips. I had never told anyone outside my family about the foods I disliked, because I was embarrassed at how childish it was. Even Jamie, who always ate lunch with me at school, praised me for how I ate everything that was placed before me.

“How did you know that I don’t like celery? I was always hiding my feelings for it.”

After I asked my question, Phil looked at me like he couldn’t understand what the issue was.

“I’ve spent my whole life watching you, Viola. So I can notice even the smallest change in your demeanor.”

“Ah...”

He declared it as if it wasn’t anything special. I was so embarrassed by how candid he was that I could no longer even register the taste of vegetables on my tongue.

“And there you have it. Did you hear what he said?” Rex said, grinning.

“I didn’t want to hear it...but I did,” Alan replied, his irritation clear.

Phil looked at me like he was the happiest man on the planet. With those three at my table, lunch was a strange and slightly stressful affair.
