Chapter Sixteen

They made it home after a quick stop at the grocery store where Mia rushed in for a few quick additions for the soup. Mia to hurried into the house to make sure that dinner was underway. They left Oliver’s truck parked by his quarters with the back filled with furniture boxes. Mia put Oliver in charge of setting the table after showing him carefully which sides were the correct placement for the utensils and napkins. She chopped up a salad and prepared a dish with shredded cheese, bacon pieces, and green onion to sprinkle on the soup. Tasting the soup, she made a few adjustments to the seasoning and turned it off to cool slightly so the Littles wouldn’t burn their sensitive mouths.

She turned to greet Madi as she rushed into the kitchen. “Hi sweetheart! Did you have a good day?” She smiled widely as the Little girl wrapped her arms around Mia’s waist and hugged her happily.

“Did you add any magic sprinkles to the food tonight? We went out for lunch, but my burger was soggy. I didn’t eat very much of it. I’m hungry!” she announced as her parents came through the door.

Ryan shook his head smiling in apology. “Hi Mia. I’m glad we haven’t scared you off yet. It smells amazing in here. I’m hungry, too.”

Wrapping her arm around her husband’s trim waist, Nora laughed. “Make that three of us that are hungry. Do we have time to change before dinner?”

“Of course. I’ll dip the soup into the bowls when you’re comfortable. Take your time,” she encouraged. “What would everyone like to drink?”

“Just water for us for dinner, I think,” Nora said looking at her family. “Wait, Ryan could you find us a good bottle of white wine? I could use a glass tonight to unwind. And we can help Mia celebrate a successful shopping trip. We saw the truck pull into the gate loaded with lots of boxes earlier this afternoon on the security camera. Ryan is very handy in putting together furniture. He’d be glad to help after dinner if you’d like.” The handsome man nodded happily when everyone turned to look at him.

“That would be wonderful! Thank you all so much!” Mia relaxed a little. She was usually intimidated by all the directions and the million screws that came in each box. She smiled at their backs as the small family all left to change. She didn’t know how she’d gotten so lucky to find her Little boy and some great people to pamper with her cooking skills. She’d never be happy without people to feed and a special Little one to spoil.
