A few rounds of enjoyable board-gaming later, the pizza finally arrives, heralded by a knock on the bedroom door. “Food’s here, kids!”
“o-okay dad, we’re almost done…!”
After tidily setting the game pieces to the side, the three girls head out to grab some of the long-awaited food. Sitting around the living room table with paper plates and slices of pepperoni pizza in hand, Lorene can feel her stomach growling. She’d only had a few French fries for lunch, after all. She calls out to Ruth’s dad in the kitchen. “Thanks again for dinner, sir!”
“It’s no problem at all, Lorene.”
Finally, it was time to dig in. The starving girl somehow manages to restrain herself from inhaling the slice whole, instead only taking moderately sized bites. Olivia quietly eats beside her.
Ruth nibbles at her slice of pizza, then looks up at the two of them. She hesitates for some time, before speaking up. “i-i know you two had a long day… do you just want to sleep after we finish eating…?” She looks down at her paper plate. “or we could make hot cocoa and watch movies or something…”
Olivia glances at Lorene. They both knew Lorene had had the longer day. Seems like Olivia would be leaving it up to her.
>Decisions, decisions…
