Edward watched his daughter cook. The way she moved so smoothly and confidently that he felt a sharp ache in his chest. Quinita’s eyes filled with tears as she quietly stood by,

She couldn’t help but wonder if she always had to be the one to be so good at this.

Elysia had already finished frying the eggs. She looked at the slightly burnt toast and almost decided to re–toast one. But as her fingers touched the bread, she hesitated.

It was made by her mom.

A soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Honestly, it wasn’t that burnt after all.

She carefully placed the toast on a plate and then set the fried egg on top. Heading to the sink, she grabbed the vegetables Edward had already washed.

She sliced the tomatoes and added lettuce, some mayo, and a bit of shredded meat. After closing the sandwich, she popped it into the sandwich press. Three minutes later, she took it out, sliced it in half, and arranged it neatly on the plate.

As she turned around, she noticed Edward and Quinita staring at her with such warmth and affection.

A flicker of hesitation crossed her face. She raised her hand and waved it in front of them, but neither of them responded. Finally, she spoke up. “Mom, Dad, you guys…”

Their eyes snapped back to her voice, pulling them out of their daze. Their gazes shifted to the sandwiches, and their hearts ached even more.

Just then, Holden walked in, following the delicious smell. As soon as he saw the sandwiches, he picked up his pace.

“I knew I smelled eggs! Who made these sandwiches?” he asked, a grin spreading across his face.

He glanced at Edward and Quinita before his eyes landed on Elysia. “It was you, right?” he asked with a bright smile.

Edward raised an eyebrow. “How do you know it was Elysia?”

Holden shrugged, smiling. “Come on. Don’t I know my mom’s cooking?”

As soon as he said that, the mood in the room shifted.
