LIAM'S POV

In my mind my mom is the person that figured out the volcano cake. I have had it in my memory since childhood. That's why this is my favorite type of cake. I mean, it has to be chocolate with a lot of chocolate in the middle, inside the volcano.

"You can gimme two slices, just to advance the row, please." I ask Ms. Payne, that is cutting the cake.

"I want it too, aunt K!" Nessie manifests in anticipation.

"No and No. Everyone wants a slice. One piece at a time."

Violet is so smart, so funny and has her own opinion about things. At the same time, she looks open to hear other opinions, to learn other ways to do something, anyway. Not to mention all this affection she demonstrates and I'm glad to receive.

"But I said first." I step harder, trying to hold my laugh 'cause of the way my mom is facing me.

"Shame on you, Liam James." She says in a funny way. "When you get done I'll think about giving you another one. For now, GO AWAY!"

I was already leaving, that's why I keep going. I'm searching for a place to sit, and everyone is standing up so it gets easier. I also save a place for my enby baby.

"Did you learn to cook with your mother?" Zy asks me with a full mouth.

"Yes. Did you find any similarities?" I laugh.

"Yes! Uhmm..." They finishes their chewing before speaking again: "Extremely delicious. I have never eaten a beet salad so tasty as at lunch. Don't have to say anything about this cake, right? Divine."

"Karen would like to know." I keep laughing. "I'm glad you're enjoying the food. What about our trip?"

"You mean if I'm enjoying it too? Yes, of course. I'm feeling comfortable." Then starts to eat again, watching around.

"HANXXXGTSHH!" I try to muffle it with my hand.

"Uncle Li! Show the photos to my grandma!"

"Can I eat first?"

"Yes."

"Thanks, angel." I fill my mouth with cake and close my eyes in delight. It tastes even better each time.

"How long are you dating?" One aunt of mine asks.

"Not too long, but it has been enough." I answer. "It was all the time we had, and we still have time to live and love."

"Yes." She agrees with a kinda shitty face, so I raise my eyebrows.

"Why?"

"Curiosity." She shakes her head no. "She looks too young."

"Me?" Zaynie marks her presence. "No, it's your impression. But if you're too worried about it, I'm above 21."

My dad is laughing, far away from us, but I know that he's laughing for the same reason as me.

"Let them live their lives, Jane. They're from another generation, this age thing is only until they pass the majority." Says Geoff.

"HATSHHHH! HATSHHHH! HATSHHOOOO!" I sneeze inside my collar shirt.

"Are you done?" Zaynie asks, probably laughing 'cause of my sneeze face.

"ESHHEEW! ESHHEEW! HATSHHEEEW!"

"Bless you."

"Thanks, babe." I start to eat again, sniffly.
