JUST FOR FAMILY

Sayaka did not know if it was her imagination, but it felt like there was some distance between them once again. However, she did not feel like she had acted inappropriately. She wanted her family to be peaceful and harmonious. 

Was it too much to ask?

And she had come to discover that Akira was a sweet and open-minded girl. Perhaps, she was overthinking the situation. There is no way Akira would hold a grudge over the small things that Hanae had done. 

"Why don't we hold a barbeque in the backyard this evening? We can eat, drink and put all bad feelings behind us." Sayaka said with an enthusiastic smile. 

"It's been a while since I had good barbeque ribs." Kazuo smiled happily. 

"What are you talking about? I made you some delicious pork ribs the other day." Chiharu said softly with rebuke. 

Kazuo laughed. "They were quite tasty, but it is not the same. Barbeque requires an outdoor environment with grills."
