Chapter 34 Quickie In The Kitchen

• TRICIA
• I stood at the kitchen counter, using the knife in my hand to slice through a ripe tomatoe, the house was quiet until Avala’s giggle, came through from the living room.
• I stopped slicing the tomatoe mid-chop, and held the half chopped tomatoe in hand as I walked toward the doorway, peeking my head out. I saw Donald, playing with Avala by lifting her up into the air continously, then he brought her down and planted a kiss on her cheek, his deep chuckle blended with her laughter. He asked, “Where's your mom?” and Avala pointed to the kitchen.
