"You went to Melon Pan?" I whimper, slowly feeling the terror of being spied on in my own home fade a little into the background.
Melon Pan is a well known and beloved bakery in the city with Japanese and French inspired pastries and dishes. Dad knows it's one of my favorites, and it's not something I get to indulge in very often because of my budget. It's usually only for special occasions.
"We did," Dad smiles. "We thought this might be a little better than what the hospital offers."
When Dex starts pulling out boxes of beautiful food, I can't hold back the tears any longer. Too much has happened, and there are so many overwhelming emotions. Worry, horror, fear, gratitude.
