Blood Kin
“Emma slid a plate of scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage, and toast in front of Bailey. Although it was just the two of them for breakfast, the kitchen table seemed crowded with a crockery bowl of fresh strawberries, another of hot muffins, a plate of pancakes, a pitcher of orange juice, as well as smaller containers of syrup, various kinds of jam, honey, cream, and sugar.
“Please, I can’t eat all this,” Bailey protested.
“Nonsense. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’m used to c...ooking for Daniel. Let me tell you, that man can stow away the vittles.” She slid into the chair across from Bailey, slipped hotcakes onto her already loaded plate, and slathered the pancakes with butter and strawberry jam. “Daniel’s a tea drinker, though. Not much for coffee. Said he picked up the habit and can’t shake it.”
“I thought I saw someone under the trees last night.”
Emma averted her gaze, took a sip of her coffee, grimaced, and made a show of adding several spoonfuls of sugar.MoreLess
