"The scones are delicious." he said, his voice filled with satisfaction, "and the tea that Thea made is perfect." He savored the flavor, the warmth of the tea and the sweetness of the scone combining in a delightful harmony.
Elizabeth smiled warmly, pleased that her father in law was enjoying the treat. She glanced at Thea,and smiled at her before turning to her father-in-law. "Did you like it, Father?"
"Hmm, I like it," Elder Edward said, nodding his head in approval.
Emerson's giggles filled the room as she announced, "Grandfather, these are made by Sister Thea."
"Then all the scones are for me! I'm not going to share them with anyone." Elder Edward declared.With a swift swoop, he took the plate from the table and held it tightly against his chest, just as Brenda was about to reach for a scone. "No sharing!" he said with a chuckle.
