CHAPTER 39: LIGHTEN MY MOOD
I guess I lose my mind. I can't forget Theo, and most significantly, I can't forget the food he made last night. Now remembering those savoring dishes, my mouth wants to ooze so early in the morning.
For the first time after Papa died years ago, this house brightened in the presence of Theo from the usual quieter one.

"Good morning, Nikki."

"Jasmine prepared some eggs and pickled ham with cheese."
I have pickled ham and cheese. My stomach would like to flip hearing the names.
"Um, I'll make honey tea," I said lazily.
