The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Seven o’clock met him in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, as usual, cracking an egg open and pouring the yolk into a pan to cook.

As he stirred the scrambled eggs together, humming quietly to himself, he tried to not think about all the mean things his wife said to him and just tried to focus on the task at hand.

When the eggs were ready, Elijah scooped them onto a plate, next to the bacon, sausages,

and toast that he prepared beforehand.

Then Elijah took the plate off the counter, set it on the tray beside a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and slowly raised the gold tray in his hand, walking carefully out of the kitchen into the dining room.

Standing by the table, Elijah placed the tray on it before grabbing the fork and knife from the cutlery drawer, setting the silverware on the table, and placing it neatly beside the tray.

At that moment, Elijah heard footsteps approaching the dining room where he was standing, and as he turned around, he saw Melina, walking into the room while rubbing her sleepy eyes, fully dressed in a lovely, knee-length, neat-fit white floral dress.

“What is this?!” Melina frowned at him as she looked at the tray and utensils sitting neatly on top of the table.

“Breakfast…” Elijah whispered nervously.

Keeping her silence, Melina pulled out a  chair and sat down, placing her hands on top of the table as she rested her chin on them and stared at Elijah suspiciously.

“Are you sure you are not trying to poison me before I divorce you, so you can take all my money?” Melina asked, still sounding very grumpy.

At first, Elijah thought she was kidding, but her tone was too serious not to believe.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out calmly, he smiled slightly at her question, and simply answered, “How could I do such a thing? Melina, I love you too much to hurt you.”

“Ha, you don’t know when to quit, do you?” Melina chuckled lightly as she shook her head.

A frown settled on Elijah’s face as he pulled out a chair and sat down across from her.
