"Here's for you"Katarina placed each a bowl of noodle soup in front of everyone with seafood in it. Combined with a meat of a crab in it, a shrimp, and thin slices of vegetables on the side and she added extra layer of toppings of a thin slices of beef in it. Along with the several food they cooked for their lunch. They set up a small table near the garden with Olivine's car nearby.

"smells is so good..." Kin smiled at Katarina after he smells it.

"Here, try this... we made this so special," Josh giggles.

"Thank you, Katarina," Olivine smiled. Cooling the soup on her spoon. Katarina tried to cheer her up about what happened.

She saw Olivine, how she is shocked seeing her wife. Alive and very well, she managed not to show how hurt she was. Katarina saw her hands were shaking, but she needed to hold clenching in it, to hold long enough for her to not back down herself and her reputation as a Ferguson. Maddison made a perfect torture for her. Torturing her, by all the lies, the deceit, and the betrayals she endured while she was with her and their relationship.

"Oliv...please enjoy the food..." Katarina held her one leg, pressing it gently. But she only stared at it, not saying anything but a lighter smile.

"Miss Olivine... please enjoy the food that we prepared it is made with love..." Josh said teasing Katarina in front of her.

As they all expected Josh and Kin as always, have a small world of their own. They never tried to disturb them, even if no one was saying anything about what they showed: care, love, and affection to each other. They both showed how loving they are and affectionate of each other. But none of them dares to says any of it.

"I have a wife, but she never cooked me before..." Olivine took chopsticks and tried to cool a little on a seafood on its tip.

"Here...have a taste..." she said, feeding on Katarina, watching her chewing her food.

"Thank you, Oliv..." she said, wiping her lips on a table napkin.

"No, I should be thankful for cooking for us," Olivine smiled.

"I'm here, always okay..." Katarina sounded worried. She saw her face, and it shows no matter how hard she hide it.

"Can I ask what is this one is..." she asked, diverting Katarina's attention.

"Ahh… Josh made pork adobo..." she smiled.

"Here, have a taste..." she said, feeding a bite-size piece to her.

"Oh... wow, that is savory it's delicious... Wait, is it mixed with pork and chicken meat?" She checked meticulously using the  chopsticks in her hand.

"Yes, and a hard-boiled egg on the side—it's his recipe," Katarina added, quite amused looking at her best friend. Same table, but in a snap they were two gone; they went to other dimensions on their own little world with Kin.

"Oliv..." she said, gaining her attention still worried she didn't say anything about a meeting with Sin and Maddison knowing they both step-sisters.

"Don't start, Katarina..." said stopping her, but Olivine took her hand and held it tightly. Staring at it for a while, noticing it has no ring on it. Imagining placing a ring in it, but that's so impossible; even her love is to the moon and back. Only she could do is to imagine by it.

"I didn't ask anything of Oliv, but I wanted to say I am here..." Katarina clarifies where she stand on there situation.

"Come closer and finish your food," she said, taking glimpses at Josh and Kin who is teasing on each other like they are a teenagers, amused by each other and how they looked with all the paints on them.
