Cleaning himself up Ace headed downstairs for breakfast to find everyone at the dining table. Danny still hadn't left for school and the kitchen was a mess. His mother and Pam hurried around to set a decent breakfast for the family while his father, uncle, and Mandy enjoyed their morning coffee sticking their eyes to their smart devices.
"Good morning everyone," Ace greeted as he seated at the dinning table next to his cousin who was engrossed in a MOBA game on his overpriced handheld console.
"Good morning," everyone greeted back without sparing him a glance causing Ace to feel lonely even if he was at the table with the people he cared for most.
"Ace, have some juice. Breakfast will be right up. We are running late thanks to certain someone," Pam said as she poured him a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice giving her husband the stink eye.
