The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the Jonas household as breakfast preparations were well underway.
The house was alive with the usual Saturday morning activity- Candace setting the table, Andy answering Jamal's endless list of questions as she assisted Candace, Aaron laughing as he listened to them while he awaited the first meal of the day.
Jamal, already full of energy, was chattering animatedly about the upcoming weekend plans, his young voice a cheerful m background sound for the scene.
They had all decided to travel to Ludus the coming weekend, and Jamal was over the moon at the thought of seeing Lucy, Tom and his uncle Harry again.
As Candace moved to pour Jamal a glass of orange juice, the doorbell rang, startling them all since they were not expecting anyone until noon when the cleaner was to arrive.
