Chapter 293: Close To Home

Jenny POV

Left behind while the family went for training, my lovely Luke was out with them, and there was nothing to do but sit in the house and worry like a war wife.

When milling about lost its appeal after about ten minutes, all in all, I decided to try and do something useful. So, I put the kettle on.

It was a nice sort of ritual to have. Searching for the kettle in the plethora of cupboards in the kitchen, I finally found an old-fashioned brass rendition meant to be heated on the stove. I took off the lid with the tell-tale tink sound older kettles tended to make.

The stove light was already glowing a soft orange and the burner gradually turned from black to angry red as I filled the kettle from the tap. The window over the sink gave me an uninterrupted view of the wilderness beyond.
