Lukas had finished taking a shower, albeit with difficulty. Ava had offered to help him several times as he had been taking too long in the shower room. However, the little man was determined and refused Ava's help outright.
Lukas stepped into the kitchen, the warm, savory smell of roasted vegetables wafting through the air. Ava was busy chopping vegetables on the counter, her hands deftly moving as she prepared their dinner. Lukas watched her in awe, admiring her skill as she quickly diced onions and sliced carrots with precision.
He took a seat at the small table, his stomach growling in anticipation. Ava turned around, a bright smile lighting up her face as she greeted him. "Hey there! How was the bath?"
Lukas grinned back at her, feeling a sense of comfort wash over him. "It was good. I feel fresh."
