"I heard you started working," Ronald said, his casual grey cotton shirt hanging loosely on his tall, lean frame, his eyes clear and soothing. "How's it going?"

"Alright," Kari replied, her voice tinged with embarrassment as she had just been caught crying, "Bro, I think I'll take a shower." Ronald knew what was on her mind.

"Go ahead. I made chicken soup, come out and have some when you're done," he said, his voice gentle. After her shower, Kari returned to the kitchen, feeling somewhat refreshed yet still emotionally drained.

It had been ten years since they last saw each other, and her memories of the past had started to fade. Seeing Ronald bustling about in the kitchen brought a wave of nostalgia and disorientation over her. Noticing her distant gaze, Ronald carried the freshly made soup to the dining table.

Ronald was a great cook, a fact Kari was well aware of.

He ladled out some soup into a small bowl. It was made from the freshest chicken, slowly simmered with herbs until the broth turned rich and the meat was tender and juicy. He even prepared a special dipping sauce with a tangy kick from the lemon juice, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich soup.

"Eat up," he encouraged.

Kari reluctantly sat down, not feeling hungry but unable to refuse Ronald's caring gaze.

Ronald skilfully removed the chicken skin and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, placing them in front of Kari, "Don't just drink the soup, have some meat."
