Sienna’s POV
My stomach felt warm and happy when we were done eating. The food was really good. Noah had eaten a lot of food. He even finished two bowls of the corn soup that Noah made for us. That corn soup was delicious.
Liam turned off the oven after we were done using it.
Then Liam cleaned up some of the kitchen. I started picking up the plates and the forks and taking them to the sink so we could wash them.
I said to Noah, “Do you want to help Mommy wash the dishes?”
looked at Noah when I asked Noah that.
Noah turned around. His face was a mess. It was all covered in cake crumbs. He said “I do not want to do that Mommy. I have to eat my cake.” Noah really wanted to eat his cake. His cake was very important to Noah.
He went back to looking at the cake box that Liliana had bought. This cake box was really important to him now.
The cake box that Liliana had bought had a lot of whipped cream and vanilla sponge in it.
The whipped cream and vanilla sponge from the cake box that Liliana had bought were all he could think about. The cake box that Liliana had bought was like the thing, in the world that mattered.I smiled to myself. Then I said, “Okay let us think about what’s important, young man.”
Liam was wiping down the dining table. He looked over at Noah. Liam shook his head. Smiled.
He said “When there is cake Liam thinks that Noah is really hard to talk to because Noah loves cake.”
I thought to myself that Noah really has a thing for sugar.
This was when I was taking the plates to the sink.
Hot water poured slowly into the cup. The coffee smelled good. I really like the smell of coffee. The smell of water and coffee is really nice. I stirred the coffee gently in the cup. Then I picked up the mug.
Carried the mug into the living room to drink my coffee.
The coffee smelled rich and comforting like it always does when I make coffee. I love the smell of coffee.
The living room lights were not very bright. The living room lights felt warm. Noah was getting sleepy already.
Noah was lying down with his head, in Liam’s lap. Noah was watching cartoons. Liam was sitting back. He looked really comfortable.
Sometimes Liam would put his hand on Noah’s head. Pat it gently. The living room lights and the cartoons were making Noah sleepier and sleepier. The living room lights were warm and cozy. Liam was happy to sit with Noah and the warm living room lights.
