Cat left the room and entered the kitchen to see Max lounging on the breakfast table with a silly, yellow mug shaped like a pineapple. The words 'be pine like an apple and dapple sunshine' were printed on it.
"You know Luke chose that mug at the supermarket. He thought it was funny how the leaves looked disjointed from afar but actually formed the handle," She pointed at the mug with a brief smile.
"I knew I liked the boy for a reason," Max continued sipping from it and watched her over the rim.
"Yeah, he's pretty special," She grabbed some things for Luke and heated the soup in the microwave.
"How're you holding up, little girl?" Max asked setting his mug down observing her with interest.
"How do you think, old man? I'm fine," She waved him off.
