Chapter 7 - A Warm Bowl Of Soup Reaches Cold Shaking Hands
Clara was gently guided inside the warm, brightly lit interior of Monroe’s Diner by the compassionate waitress.
Milo walked right beside her, proudly carrying his jar of coins as if he were guarding a royal crown jewel.
The smell of toasted butter, melting cheddar, and rich vegetable broth enveloped them like a protective blanket.
They sat together in a cozy corner booth near the window, away from the drafts blowing through the front entrance.
Clara wrapped her frail hands around the steaming ceramic bowl, letting the glorious warmth seep into her frozen fingers.
She took a slow, careful sip of the soup, feeling life slowly flow back into her exhausted veins.
Across the checkered table, Milo watched her eat with a bright, satisfied smile lighting up his rosy cheeks.
