Howard jumped in to steer the conversation elsewhere. "David, have you eaten breakfast?"
David nodded. "Yeah, | have."
"Why don’t you join Danielle for a little something anyway?" Howard suggested.
"Sure," David agreed without hesitation.
The Darling family’s breakfast spread was both hearty and diverse. As they sat down, David barely touched his
own plate, instead quietly placing food onto Danielle's.
He watched her eat with an almost indulgent look. Danielle ate whatever was in front of her. Her small bites
