Vernon was making pancakes for breakfast with the help of Chloe by his side. Mackie had been watching them from the living room, peeking from time to time, finding herself enjoying watching Mommy and Uncle in harmony in the kitchen.
It wasn't a new experience anymore for her. Uncle and Mommy always cooked together these days because of Mommy's injury. But that still didn't erase the novelty for the Little girl.
In her eyes, just seeing her Mommy smiling over the simplest thing was enough to bring joy to Mackie. After all, her Mommy had been suffering for so long living with her Daddy.
Mackie still hadn't exactly grasped the whole thing. But not because she was ignorant. She kept observing her surroundings and learning about new things each day, but her Mommy—and Uncle—always kept her in the dark, never telling her what exactly went wrong with her Daddy.
