At Waterford Estates.
Hansen sat comfortably on the couch watching TV, while Leo and Chunky carried plates out of the kitchen.
Naomi pulled the hot food from the stove. "These are the vegetarian ones. Take them out and start eating. Since Anya isn't here, I'll freeze a batch for her so she has something to eat when she gets back."
Bruce obediently followed his wife's orders, helping out in the kitchen.
Anya had returned to her own house the night before. Knowing her boyfriend had his family to keep him company, she had gone home to hang out with her younger brother.
Before leaving, she had meticulously explained where all the pots, pans, and plates were kept. "When your mom comes over to cook tomorrow, make sure you show her where everything is. If you can't find something, just call me."
Leo had pulled his little micromanager into a hug. "Alright, I got it. You're going to miss your ride. Put your coat on, I'm taking you to the station."
With Anya gone and their company on holiday break, Leo had invited Chunky over. Chunky's family lived far away, and since he planned to go back for the Lunar New Year, he had decided to stay in town for New Year's Day.
As fate would have it, Leo's parents and grandfather had come over to visit. "Chunky, come have some food," Leo called out.
Naomi finished cooking another batch of food. "Leo, come grab another plate."
Leo and Chunky instantly raced each other to the kitchen to grab the plates.
At the Byrne family home.
Everyone was bustling about, except for Jade, who had been strictly banished from the kitchen. "Just go watch the kid," they ordered.
Left to her own devices, Molly decided to entertain her son with some half-baked magic tricks she had learned online.
Wayne watched his mother's performance with an entirely blank expression.
The trick was so flawed that Wayne ended up grabbing his mother's hands, trying to correct her technique himself.
Once the food was done and the first batch cooked, Chad packed a large food container. "I'm going to drop this off for the guys on duty at the station."
