As Xiu presented the cupcakes, Dylan and Nora again got into a fight. Again!
"Can't you be content with what you have?" asked Nora. "Let me enjoy my portion!"
"Enjoy!" said Dylan. "But stop eyeing mine!"
Xiu shook her head and sighed out before she raised her voice and shouted, "Say another word and I'm not giving anything to both of you!"
Dylan and Nora became meek just hearing that. They looked at Xiu before sitting down to enjoy their cupcakes. They didn't even want to take them out to the garden in case someone would get the idea to snatch it. The fewer people to share, the better!
Xiu had turned around to put the dishes into the dishwasher when her eyes moved outside the window. Right above the sink was a window that overlooked the garden. She could see everyone talking on one side but her eyes got stuck on to the other side where Jackie was sitting on the outdoor bed swing with her son.
