Camry: fried chicken and white rice and corn

Carmen: it just got done so it's still hot

Camila: ooh good I'm starving

Camila pov: Quincy helped me stand up and over to the sink so I could wash my hands. The food smelled really good. Once I sat back down I pulled the table over to me and started to eat. It was actually pretty good. Could've used a little more seasoning but they did good.

Camry: sooo, you like it?

Camren: of course she likes it, she's doing the dance

Camila:(laughs) it's really good, a little more seasoning next time but it's great, better than daddy's cooking
