The next morning, Akai bounded downstairs, her heart full of excitement, and found her grandma, Grace, already busy in the kitchen, preparing their breakfast with a warm smile.
"Grandma, let me help you!" Akai exclaimed, eager to assist and spend quality time with her beloved grandma.
"You don't have to help me, dear," Grace refused, her hands moving deftly as she cracked eggs into a bowl, her eyes twinkling with love.
"What are you going to make for breakfast?" Akai asked, her curiosity piqued and her stomach growling with anticipation.
"Something special," Grace replied, a hint of a smile playing on her lips, her voice filled with warmth.
"Special? Hearing it only brings water to my mouth!" Akai commented, her eyes sparkling with amusement and her face lighting up with excitement.
Just then, Grace mentioned, "Yesterday, Mrs. Thompson called. They said she would visit our house to invite us."
