"No, she went to her friend's housewarming party and she will be back tomorrow". Andrew said. "Ok". He said and they continued eating. "I was mainly to ask, Kevin, did you go to the market and buy all the fruits there?". Anastasia asked. "Why? is it too much?". "Yes". "Well, I think is the best, it will last for three weeks and it won't get rotten as long as it's refrigerated".He said. "You even bought enough fruit salad". Andrew said. "Yes".He smiles and continues eating. They stared at him and sighed. Then, Mrs. Lisa came out and was ready to leave. "Aunt, you are going?". Anas
