Prepare For Your Grand Entrance

||Lucas||

"It's great that your mom has settled down there. It's not easy to get used to a new place."

Lucas' words brought a smile to Liliana's lips. She intently watched him rolling the dough on the kitchen island. The wall clock was pointing to three-thirty in the afternoon.

Right now, Liliana and Lucas were inside the baking kitchen. She came to talk about her mother when he was experimenting with a bread recipe. It was not something new for them.

When Liliana said she could come some other time, Lucas insisted she stay. 

"It's boring being alone here. I can use some company."

His words led Liliana to drop her plan of leaving the baking kitchen. Thus, they began talking as Lucas continued with his task.

Liliana quietly stared at Lucas without replying immediately. Her eyes caught the traces of white flour staining the left corner of his lips. Some even got to his forehead. His dark hair was covered under a white hat.
