MAEVE

Stella: So you are telling me you have a group of friends and one friend has forcefully called you to eat food for free and you were denying it at first?

Maeve: Kind off...

Stella: Wow.. you are one of a kind. I wish I had these many friends.

Maeve's phone buzzed. It was her mom. Her mom never called her on office hours if not compulsory.

Maeve: Mom aren't you working?

Sandra: No I stepped out for a while. When are you coming home today?

Maeve: I'll be late today why?

Sandra: Nothing I was just wondering when you would come.

Maeve: Do you have something to tell me?

Sandra: Nothing... Just don't be too late.

Maeve: Ok mom bye.

Sandra was standing alone in the Brigham and Women's Hospital. She didn't want to disturb her children. They had a lot to deal on their own. Her stomach pain had rose above control. This wasn't just stomach pain. It was something else.

(Ryan's restaurant)

Ava entered with six to seven packets of medicines.

Maeve: What's all these??

Ava: These.. are nutritional supplements for the beneficial of the liver. It contains tumeric, wormwo--

Ryan: Did they fire you from the law firm?

Ava: If you don't wanna eat then don't eat. I brought it because I care...

Ryan: No no, I'll take it.

Caleb: Is this certified by the food and drug administration?

Maeve: Theo you take this.. for your mom and dad.

Theo: No no you take it for your mom.

Maeve: No no she is fine, you can take it..

Ava: I have more in the car should I bring them?

Maeve: More?? That would be nice.

Ava ran outside the restaurant to bring more supplements.

Ryan: What the hell happened to her?

Kiera: I swear I have no idea...

KIERA

Ryan was flipping vegetables on his pan like it's no big deal. Chopping up things like he has being doing it for decades. Well he had been doing it for half a decade. He put something on the pan and a beautiful red flame happened. Mesmerising.

Kiera: Look at him all focused up..

Ava: Hm..

Ava's phone buzzed and she left. Ryan was doing tricks which I had only seen in Masterchef. Maeve and I started whistling for him to get his confidence up.

Maeve: Cool bro.. COOL.

Ryan laughed at us. He was trying to find Ava and when he realised she was talking to someone on the phone, he went back to cooking. A while later I could smell something burning..

Kiera: Is something burning?

Caleb: My heart?

Kiera: Not talking about your heart...

Theo: Waittt something is burning!!!

Maeve: Ryan!!!! Where the fuck are you looking your things are burning!!!!!
