"Well, we'll talk about how we're going to distribute the chores in the house later."
Camila clapped and suddenly said out loud to change the dreary topic, which made her feel threatened. She then looked at both of us like we were supposed to be making haste and said,
"For now, it's time to make a delicious breakfast to start off this joyous day of our family's new start...So, Abi, why don't you continue cutting the vegetables while Kafka can go and get some frozen peas from the fridge."
I simply smiled at how chaotic our first morning as a family was going, thinking that it was so much better than waking up and eating breakfast while reading a book all alone like I was used to do back on Earth and thought there wasn't a treasure in the world I would exchange this moment for.
I then continued letting them do whatever they were doing and walked over to the fridge to do what Camila said.
