𝐈𝐓'𝐒𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑, is what luna continued to remind herself as she packed a small bag full of treats she had purchased along with a hot chocolate mix to make for the four of them, and once she ensured that everything was packed, she grabs the bag then walks out of the kitchen to call out her daughter, " cece! apresúrate ... we don't want to be late "
her eight year old sprints out, dressed in the pajama set she had bought which made her smile softly, " look at my baby, so cute " luna pinched her cheek.
" mamá " francesca whines, " please, i'm a big girl now "
" no, you're not " luna retorts, " you're always going to be my baby "
the mother daughter duo make their way over to jordan's flat, luna knocks on the door while francesca stood next to her - five minutes later, the door opens with jordan standing there with a smile, " hello you two "
" hi " luna smiles widely.
" hi mister henderson " francesca greets him before running off to ruby.
jordan chuckles then turns to luna who shrugs in response, " she's obsessed with ruby, and i don't fault her " she states with a giggle.
" so is ruby, and to be fair - i don't blame her either, i mean, we are friends " jordan smiles.
" true " luna nods with a smile of her own, before she said. " come on, let's set up the snacks while they're busy talking " she walks to the kitchen, with jordan soon following her. " i'm going to make us some hot chocolate "
" oh, like old times " jordan states with a smile.
" yes " luna grins, " but with a twist "
" a twist? " jordan echoes, " what is the twist? "
luna pulls out a jar of cardamom, adding a few bits to each mug. " when i was young, catriona and i would spend most of time with my grandmother, and as you know; she taught me a lot of things, one of which is adding cardamom to hot chocolate, it's the perfect addition to help relief any kind of tension and anxiety that you might feel." she smiles softly.
she noticed his expression then added, "and given what catriona went through, we'd always ask her to add cardamom to our mugs, then she would add marshmallows to sweeten up but you can still feel it, call it a spiritual thing but i can assure you that it works "
" you miss her, don't you? " jordan asks, " your cousin? "
luna nods, " i always do, i mean ... she's everything to me, cece loves her too and so does my aunt, but what her mother did, how she treated her, that instilled a fear of letting her guard down in front of everyone, which leads to those stupid charades she does every time she travels, and what does that do? it ends up hurting a sweet man that doesn't deserve to be hurt "
