The Aldrich family of four gathered around the same table to eat. However, the only sounds were the light clinking of tableware and food being munched on.

Aurelia glanced at Alphonse’s slightly swollen eyes, then at the bandaid stuck above Romeo’s right eyebrow. Though she was curious and concerned, she pushed her curiosity aside. It wasn’t the time nor place to ask such questions. It was bad table manners.

Alphonse noticed Aurelia looking back down at her food, and his heart settled. He didn’t want to have to explain his swollen eyes. He had actually iced them before the sun rose, and it did go down significantly. However, it was still obvious enough to be noticed at close range.
