Helanie:
I watched Emmet make waffles for us and plate them separately, decorating each like a chef with edible flowers. Everything looked perfect.
We walked out with the waffles in our hands, and as soon as we sat down in the garden, Emmet started helping me with the food as if I couldn't eat on my own. Ever since they found out I was pregnant, they've been treating me like a child who can't take care of herself.
"So, are you going to talk to me about something?" I asked after taking a bite of waffle and closing my eyes to enjoy the taste. Emmet really knew how to cook, I had to give him that.
He wiped his hands with a napkin. Even when he didn't need to, he used a fork and knife.
"So, remember when we were talking about my mom and how she said she thought she was cursed?" he said, making me nod along with him.
