ASTRID stared into the depths of the soapy water, as she methodically cleaned each dish and placed it on the edge of the sink with a clink. Beside her, Astrid could feel her mother's eyes glancing over at her occasionally as Christine dried the dishes her daughter cleaned and then put them away.

"Yep, that's us" Astrid commented unenthusiastically. "Casual all the way, no labels or anything."
