Chapter 48

Juliette

Mom asked me to pack the food in the basket as she herself remained busy filling up the water bottles. I kept the food in the basket and looked up when Zachary’s mom walked into the kitchen humming a song. She wore an orange summer dress and a fedora. She looked extremely happy as she walked in humming and wiggling her eyebrows at my direction.

“You look happy Julia,” mom asked and she nodded.

“Of course! I am really happy today because we are going on a family picnic after a long time. I just can’t express my happiness,” she clapped her hands and walked up to me inspecting my basket.

“Oh, and don’t forget to take those blueberry jam too. I love them in my sandwiches,” she exclaimed and I nodded smiling at her. I walked to the kitchen cabinet and brought out the jam bottle and kept it inside the basket.

“I am also going out for a picnic after a long time,” my mother told her and she looked back at her.

“Really?” Zachary’s mother asked and she nodded.
