"Dante, come here." Jasper Milton called out.
Dante Milton stopped and smiled uncomfortably, but his hands were twisted together from nervousness. "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Ralph's mother is living here today. You can sleep with me tonight." Jasper said softly.
"Oh, then I'll go eat some meatballs first." After Dante finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen without waiting for Jasper to speak.
Jasper sighed helplessly.
In the kitchen.
Natalie Wheeler scooped up some meatballs for Dante and put in a couple more on the skillet.
Dante looked at the meatballs with sparkling eyes and licked his lips. "Natalie, can I eat now?"
"You can, but be careful not to burn yourself. Do you want some ketchup with it?" Natalie asked softly.
"Yes, please."
