A few days later, on December 30th.
Lucas worked full day from Christmas until yesterday so, he was granted a leave despite it being the last day of the year. It helped him to stay occupied and calm before he came to any big decision.
At the same time, Lucas' heart was inclined to do what Michael had told him before.
Even before Linda woke up to cook breakfast for the family, Lucas was already out and about.
The clock showed two o'clock when he entered the kitchen. He wanted to use the time when everyone was still sleeping to do what he love to do.
Lucas planned to prepare the food on behalf of his mother as well as bake some bread and cookies. The ingredients were bought yesterday, using quite a bit of his money.
"This should be enough..."
Lucas stared at the cookie dough sitting inside a glass bowl. He was waiting for the bread one to rise properly. He just wanted to make simple milk bread and chocolate chip cookies.
