A sharp bolt of hunger hit Luther hard. His knees almost buckled, his poker face almost grimaced. For two weeks now his sense of smell had been much keener, no doubt a side effect of a strict diet. Maybe he got a whiff of Mabel's finest, he wasn't sure, but a craving came over him. Suddenly, he had to have something to eat. Suddenly, he wanted to snatch the bag from Kendall, rip open a package, and start gnawing on a fruitcake. John Grisham
About This Quote

During the last year and a half, Luther had been on a strict diet. He had lost twenty pounds and was now on his way to becoming a model. The weight loss had made him hungry all the time. His nose had become keener and he smelled food wherever he went.

Since his nose was so keen, if he went to the grocery store, he could smell food there before it was even put in the bag. This led to him getting very anxious when he was near the deli counter because he would smell something delicious there and have to have it right away. He also got very anxious when he saw Kendall because suddenly, he wanted to snatch the bag from Kendall, rip open a package, and start gnawing on a fruitcake.
