Calix and Leslie had some breakfast before heading to the airport. The sun slowly raised above the horizon, chasing the remaining darkness away. Brilliant streaks of ruby, amber and violet colored the sky canvas.
"You ate so little," Calix pointed out after feeding Leslie the last scoop of porridge under her request. He glanced from her to the small bowl sitting on the table.
"I'm nervous..." Leslie chuckled, smiling sheepishly at Calix, "I want to save... some space for the party's food too..."
Aunt Wendy prepared some porridge, steamed buns and soy milk as usual. Due to her anxiousness, Leslie didn't have much appetite. She only ate a few spoonfuls of porridge.
Sighing in helplessness, Calix fondly stared at Leslie. Her glimmering eyes expressed her anticipation of what would come today.
"Alright. Save more space for the cake and desserts."
Leslie nodded. Her little action earned laughter from Calix.
