Zuko was momentarily distracted and accidentally choked on the drink.

After closing the supermarket for the night, Lina locked the door and headed home with Zuko. Everyone in the family had already gone to sleep.

Zuko was about to move the folding bed to the porch when Lina softly stopped him. “Um…”

“Come and eat!” Lina smiled and handed him a spoon.
