I don't blame Megumi for not wanting to go anywhere near the kitchen today. What with everything that's happened recently, I'm surprised we're even still having a Christmas celebration.
I'm glad we are; when things get rough you need to try and keep your heart hopeful. Joe will come back, safe and whole. We have to believe that, and do the best we can to go on with our lives.
I manage to avoid the flames and foam as I slip into the kitchen and fix a cup of tea in Megumi's favorite mug. I return to her in the living room where we've been setting up the tree together. Right now she's seated, and looks as if she's either going to cry, or is fighting off a headache at the disaster echoing from the kitchen.
"Here, Mama." I press the mug into her hand, and offer her as warm a smile I can muster.
