We set to work, chatting and laughing as we cooked. It was a perfect morning, filled with laughter and love.
"I think I put too much cheese in this one," Seraphina said, peering into the skillet with a mock serious expression.
"Is there such a thing as too much cheese?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Fair point," she conceded, grinning. "But it might just turn into a cheese pancake instead of an omelet."
"I'm okay with that," I replied, laughing. "Cheese pancake it is!"
Just as Seraphina attempted to flip her overly cheesy creation, there was a loud crash from behind us. We turned to see Lady Elowen standing in the doorway, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.
"Mother!" Seraphina exclaimed, trying to stifle a laugh. "Did you trip over something?"
Lady Elowen straightened up, smoothing her dress with an air of dignity. "I most certainly did not trip. I merely... stumbled."
