“He brought fish, vegetables, and a lot of other stuff. Our fridge barely has room!” Xyla frowned and pointed at the balcony. “Look, whatever’s left is piled there! Did he move the supermarket back?”

Cordelia first helped her mother to sit and was going to check in the kitchen when Zephyr came out to serve the dishes. Both of them froze when they made eye contact.

Zephyr placed the last dish of fish on the table and stood aside with his back straightened stiff and his hands grabbing the apron he wore.

Cordelia suddenly felt her heart soften and her eyes wet looking at him covered in sweat.
