"Where did you go? You don't usually carry a purse around…" Akari asked Marissa while cutting the carrot into fine sticks.

Marissa was stitching Ariel's skirt hem. The little girl was sitting on the countertop, stirring the spatula in a bowl that had candies.

She seemed to share her mom's passion for cooking.

She called behind them and closed the door with a smile. 

Akari had placed half of the carrot sticks in a steel bowl and was now doing preparations for carrot sauce.

"Are you avoiding my question?" she asked Marissa who was tossing all the aprons in a tub to get them washed.
