Jack's Cooking
As the kitchen filled with the delicious aroma of simmering vegetables and sizzling meat, Jack stirred the pot with careful focus. Lena had drifted over to help, her earlier frustration melting away as she grabbed a cutting board and started chopping up vegetables. Jack glanced over at her, thankful for her quiet presence.
Lena was quick and efficient in her movements, expertly slicing through the vegetables.
As they continued to cook, the sound of the front door opening caught their attention. Samantha walked in, looking slightly windswept but full of energy. She kicked off her shoes and flashed a wide grin at the sight of the two of them in the kitchen.
"Well, well, look at you two playing house," she teased, leaning against the doorway.
Lena smirked and waved a hand at her. "You're just in time to help us finish. Where have you been, anyway?"
