The kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and freshly baked bread air as the late afternoon sun filtered through the window.
The table was set with a platter of herb-crusted chicken at the center, surrounded by bowls of creamy mashed potatoes, steamed green beans with a lemon butter glaze, and a basket of warm dinner rolls.
Brandon sat at one end of the table and reached for a roll before tearing it apart with his fingers, the steam rising as he spread a generous pat of butter across it.
Yverine sat to Brandon's left and reached for the green beans as she served herself a small portion "This is really good, Miss Elize. Been a while since I had a meal like this."
Elize smiled gently and nodded her head "I am glad to hear that."
The table fell into a comfortable silence for a moment as the four of them continued to eat.
Brandon reached for another helping of chicken and his eyes darted to Elize with a teasing smile.
