The wine glass was about to shatter in her hand. Her form froze the second her mother read the news aloud. The fork from her right hand clattered on the porcelain plate placed before her. Her food was half-finished.
"Pass me the onions." A nasal voice cut through her haze.
Her head snapped up like a deer that caught the leopard stalking it.
"What?" she whispered.
"I said, 'pass me the onions'," her grandmother commanded. "Are you deaf now?"
She kept staring at her grandmother, who was seated at the left end of the table.
