Chocolate Milk and Marshmallows

Benedito Goncalo Cruz Pereira

"I'm just grateful to have in-laws that are as welcoming as you," I softly smiled down to Jordan once I had swallowed the immense amount of guilt I contained. 

"You're a great son Benedito," she smiled and gave me a tight hug. 

Eventually she led me into the house and led me to the kitchen where Clyde, Evelyn and Abigail were waiting. I gave Clyde a hug as we greeted each other and gave the sisters a friendly smile. Abigail's face flushed as she greeted me and Evelyn mumbled a 'good morning' with a small pout. 

"Would you like some breakfast?" Jordan offered. 

I shook my head, "No, thank you. Bobby demanded I come back as soon as possible with his chocolate milk."

"I thought he hated chocolate milk," Clyde piped, "Said it was dirty milk."
