Ariel Morris's hand holding the cup paused for a moment, then she looked up and smiled faintly, "I'm going out with some friends later."
Earlier, she had already arranged with Arlo Seys and Brother Dawn Nico Haynes to go to a restaurant owned by a friend of Nico's for a BBQ buffet.
After Ariel Morris spoke, she sat down quietly to eat the love-filled birthday noodles her mother made for her.
At the moment she lowered her head to eat, Damien Morris at the head of the table gave a questioning look to his wife, Laura Pinley, sitting beside him. Laura Pinley nodded gently, a smile playing on her lips.
Only then did Damien Morris continue to enjoy his breakfast with peace of mind.
