In Chimoio, as the clock ticks closer to 4 p.m., Marta and Jennifer finish preparing the snacks, arranging the plates neatly on the counter. The kitchen is filled with the inviting aroma of freshly sliced fruits, cheese, and crackers, all set out in colorful dishes—perfect for the twins' return from school.
Marta glances out the window, watching as the sun dips lower in the sky. "They'll be so excited to see these snacks when they get home. You're really good with them, Jennifer. They adore you."
Jennifer smiles warmly, her hand resting on her braid. "I adore them too. They're such bright kids, full of energy and questions. It's impossible not to love them."
