Sarah laughed gently and looked down at Alex. “I’m sorry, sweetie, but it’s really late. I can’t cook tonight. How about we eat what the maids made for us, and I’ll make your favorite dish in the morning?

Alex hesitated, but his stomach growled again, reminding him of how hungry he was.

He nodded reluctantly, but his smile returned. “Okay, Mommy. But tomorrow, promise?”

Alex grinned and jumped out of bed. “It’s been so long since I had aa made by Mom. Yay!”

Sarah chuckled as she plated the food, a warmth filling her heart.
