"Would you like to stay and have dinner with us?" Rose asked Dimitri.
"I couldn't," he said.
"Why not?" she asked. "It's meatloaf, potatoes and peas. There's no way me and the kids can eat all of it."
"Well...OK." He grinned. "It's been awhile since I had home cooking."
"What do you usually have?" Rose asked as she began to get the ingredients out.
"Usually just a TV dinner," he replied. "That, or I go out."
"Well, I think you're going to like this," said Rose.
"I've no doubt I will," Dimitri replied.
