Madelyn replied, "I haven't been treated badly there. Ethan is really nice to me. He gives me rides to and from school every day."

"That's great," Rosario replied, squeezing Madelyn's hand and giving it a little pat.

"Did Mr. Jardin come back with you?"

"Yes."

"Are you hungry? I can make something for you."

Right as Rosario was about to get up, Madelyn gave her a gentle push, settling her back down. "I've got this. I cook whenever I've got free time at the Arnold residence," Madelyn said.
