After a while, Aurora led Jenny to the kitchen.
"What do you want to eat, Jenny? I'll make it for you," Aurora asked with a gentle smile.
Jenny's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Pasta! I really want to eat pasta!" she chirped, practically bouncing in place.
Aurora chuckled at her enthusiasm and nodded. "Pasta it is." She rolled up her sleeves and started preparing the dish.
Jenny watched her with pure joy, her tiny hands gripping the edge of the counter as she stood on her toes to see better. The scent of garlic and butter filled the kitchen, making her stomach rumble in anticipation. But more than the food, it was the warmth of this moment that made her heart swell.
She had never felt like this before.
