Mcelliot + Cookies
Heading to her car and climbing in for home, Kate couldn't keep the smile off her face. Her visit at the center had been good today. Her dad seemed to remember both her and her mother, he even recalled some memories of Kate's time at home right before university. He'd brought up the last time she was home and her mother had baked them all a batch of her favorite sugar cookies. The talk had gotten Kate so excited she decided she'd head right home and make a batch of them herself.
Pulling in the front garden of their new home, Kate was anxious to get inside and check on her two favorite girls and Lawrence before she got started and she was pleasantly surprised to be met at the door by Caroline, who cradled a sleeping Grace in her arms. "We've missed you." Caroline said softly, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Kate's smile. She backed away slowly as Kate passed, stopping at the coat rack to hang her cardigan. "How was he today?" Caroline inquired before leaning in to gently press her lips against Kate's.
Kate hummed her appreciation as Caroline pulled away and she paused to stroke her daughter's auburn curls and kiss her forehead before she answered. "Oh Caroline, he was just lovely! He seemed so alert and he even got me wanting to bake, so you and Lawrence are in for a treat tonight." Kate seemed to absolutely be glowing and it warmed Caroline's heart as she watched her head toward the kitchen, already chatting away about all the supplies she'd need. Glancing back down at Grace, she cradled her to her chest before trailing slowly after her, Caroline's own smile now set on her face.
