Kaye:
She lingered for a while, but I watched her carefully. I had seen her toss Helanie into the swimming pool once. I wasn't going to let her try to harm her again, physically, emotionally, or by damaging her reputation or risking our baby.
After a while, when she realized I wasn't giving in or doing what she wanted, she walked out of the kitchen. I was finally able to breathe in peace.
Once I had finished preparing the meal, I knocked on the door and Norman opened it.
"She's still sleeping," he said, pointing toward the bed.She looked so cute, even from afar.
"Oh, well, I made her a beef steak. And one for you too," I said to my brother, who smiled and rubbed his palms.
"Well, it's not every day that Kaye is cooking," he commented. His eyes narrowed, he already knew who I was cooking for.
"It's okay. Give it to me. I'll wake her up and let her know you made it for her. Do you want to stay?" he asked.
