Taking the Leap of Faith

Linda and Kevin exchanged a glance, sharing a similar look in their eyes. Both of them understood the meaning behind Lucas' words. 

"Big Brother, eat more," Kevin picked up the cashew chicken bites from the dish, placing them inside Lucas' rice bowl, "You're right. Let's embrace the change."

Stifling his laughter, Lucas' smile had a hint of helplessness. He accepted Kevin's gesture before doing the same for his younger brother and mother.

"Don't you two have something to tell me?" asked Lucas after scooping more fish soup into Linda and Kevin's small soup bowls, "Why don't we talk over desserts?"

"Ah! Yes, it's important. Sure. Mom will bring out the puddings you brought."

The family of three continued their meal. The depressing atmosphere in the past was no more, fading under the cheery and bright ambiance of the present.
