Karen had grown fond of the way they dined together, it was lovely every time. She liked to have a family sitting at the table eating supper together, laughing together, and enjoying the food. She smiled at Clover for his healthy appetite and then to Fred. "He is a good kid." She fluffed the child's hair a little before turning to her food. She doled out a healthy portion of stew, but there was plenty of it left.
