The kettle began to whistle, signaling Olive to take it off the stove. Maesi took a bite of her toast, slathered in marmalade. She whispered, "Thanks," as Olive poured her a cup of tea.

Enoch walked in, hand over his mouth trying to block a yawn. Maesi jumped as he gently hugged her from behind. She set down her tea and buried her head in his neck. "Good morning." He hummed in response.

Olive looked in their direction, turning her head back to her plate just as quickly. "Would you like me to fix you a cup of tea, Enoch?" Enoch shook his head. "No need, thanks."

Olive took Millard's cup and filled it once again, before reaching out to take Horace's. Maesi invited Enoch to sit next to her, but he declined, preferring to lean on her and breathe her in.

He's been so clingy lately.

As Olive poured more tea into Horace's cup, Emma came in with a grin. "Morning, everyone-" she paused, taking in the sight of everybody having breakfast together. "Well, Enoch, haven't seen you down here in a while!" She exclaimed. Jake stared at the inside of his cup, downing the remains of his tea in silence.

Peaceful silence. Maesi had him by her side, everything was at peace now.
