Clover, which is my friend Caroline's stepmother and I were just preparing Christmas dinner.
"Thank you Ms. for inviting me to Christmas, my parents really wanted to go on this vacation" I said
"No problem, my daughter's friends are family friends, I can see you have a talent for cooking" Clover replied
"Thanks, I've been fascinated with cooking since I was a child" I said.
"I can see that, it's a shame that my husband and daughter have two left hands in the kitchen, sometimes I wonder how they managed without me" Clover said
"Well, sometimes I cooked for them" we laughed together, although I knew that there was more truth in it, and it amused me even more that Caroline clearly couldn't cook. I loved doing it since I was a child, even now in our apartment I cook dinners for me and Maggie, some things never change.
After a few minutes I added "I have to say that your presence has changed a lot, I've never seen Maggie so happy, Mr. Kazc was always a lonely man".
"Thank you so much for your kind words my dear, and I hope it's ok with your boyfriend, how was he?" Clover replied.
"With Ted? We broke up, it was getting boring, now I'm going with Cad, he's an aspiring model" I replied lightly.
"Well, I'm sorry to hear about the breakup, but you're still young. Okay, let's finish this meal or the rest of you will start to get impatient. Oh Caroline, as a guest you can choose Christmas movies? Which ones would you like?"
"Die Hard, or Vice Versa, or Home Alone 2" I replied with the excitement of a little girl
"That's quite a tonal range, but it can be done" Clover replied slightly surprised then added "Okay my dear, take the dishes, it's time to set the table".
