Chapter 96- The Unexpected Visit

The smell of breakfast drifted through the kitchen as I stirred the eggs, the swish of bacon adding a little noise to the quietness that hung in the room.
It was Saturday morning. Saturday mornings were always the best that I could ever ask for and Elliot loved it because I was always at home to help him with homeworks and play with him.
But today was extra special as we were going to the park.
