Once the vegetables were clean, she took a spot near the counter and watched as Elsa moved effortlessly from
one task to another, preparing breakfast. Idle moments turned into light conversation between the two, their
voices blending with the quiet hum of the kitchen.
Not long after seven, footsteps echoed on the stairs. Ethan soon appeared, drawn in by the chatter. Curiosity
flickered across his face.
His eyes widened when he caught sight of Gracie. “What are you doing here, Gracie?”
Seeing Ethan's displeased expression, Gracie quickly explained, “There were mice in my house, and | was too
scared to stay there. | called you, but Elsa answered the phone and broughthere.”
A sigh escaped Ethan as he turned to his mother. “Mom, you can’t just invite people into my house without
telling me,” he said, frustration seeping into his voice.
Elsa met his look head-on, standing her ground. “Since when do | need your permission for that? This is my
house, too. | believe | have every right to decide who stays here.”
Ethan believed he couldn’t reason with Elsa. After thinking for a moment, he turned to leave the house.

often preferred breakfast at the Harper family’s place.
“Planning to go to the Harper family’s for breakfast again?” Elsa asked directly, blocking Ethan’s path.
Ethan shot her a look, annoyed by her accuracy. Avoiding Gracie was his goal, and breakfast at Brenna’s house
was his escape plan. “Even if | am, it’s not your concern. Mom, it’s not right for Gracie to stay at my place.”
Elsa waved his protest away. “That's not for you to decide. | want Gracie here, so she stays. Now, ceat.
Breakfast is almost done, and Gracie helpedwith it this morning. You didn’t even acknowledge her effort;
that’s rude.”
Refusing to let Ethan walk away, Elsa took him by the arm and pulled him to sit down. “You're not going
anywhere. Your brother's getting discharged from the hospital today, and you'll drivethere to pick him up
later.”
Slumping into the seat, Ethan struggled to hide his irritation. Living with Elsa was a nightmare. He could not
understand how his father had tolerated her for so many years.

A hint of disappointment crossed Gracie’s face when Ethan first tried to leave, but his return brightened her
mood. She carried over a bowl of oatmeal, her hands shaky with nervousness.
Setting the bowl in front of him, she offered a smile. “I made this myself, Ethan. It’s my first attempt, so | hope
it’s at least edible.”
