"Good morning father! Good morning mother!" Theodora chirped, greeting her parents at a breakfast table
They were talking about something, but her voice made them pause and look her way. They smiled brightly as Theodora went to hug both her parents before taking her seat to the right of her father.
"Good morning dear!" Her father greeted her back.
"Good morning, Theodora!" Her mother wished before she turned in her husband's way. "Isn't it feel amazing to have a breakfast together as a family Ralph!"
Ralph nodded his head in agreement before a longing crossed over his face.
"I wish mother and father would have been with us!"
Cordelia's face softened, and she pressed his hand that rested on the table. But Theodora's face soured at the mention of her grandparents.
