Because Mallie Mae doesn't like the ham he cooked.
Macy peeked in, expecting to see Mallie Mae in her favorite chair. Instead, she was standing at a front window, staring at the sky. The matriarch spent most of her time in her bedroom these days. She had everything she needed right there. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished. And Macy was ready to jump at her command.
"Did you finish your lunch, Mallie Mae?"
The 75-year-old Mallie Mae Mobley loved Macy like the daughter she never had.
"Yes, I'm finished. But tell Hadley the ham was dry."
"You know that will hurt his feelings."
"I don't care. I won't eat dry ham. I've told him over and over, but he keeps sending me dry ham."
"Yes, Ma'am. I'll tell him.
Macy walked over to pick up the tray.
"What do you think about Lilman's fiancé?
"She a nice young lady, I suppose."
"Macy--tell me what you really think."
Macy studied Mallie Mae's face to make sure she really wanted to hear her opinion. "I'm not crazy about her."
"I think she's awful--a crude money-hungry tramp."
Macy tried not to smile.
Mallie Mae went on. "If there was any way I could stop this wedding without alienated my son, I would do it in a heartbeat."
"Just tell him how you feel."
"No, no, no. Then he'll be determined to marry her--and he'll be mad at me. I wanted him to be a surgeon, you know. I had planned it since he was a little boy. He could have been a world-class surgeon."
Macy had heard this story nearly every day since she took the job as a personal aide fifteen years earlier, after Mallie Mae had taken a fall and broken her leg.
