Splash! The fork drops into the sink of bubbly dishwater.
The dog, curled at her feet, breathes deeply, paddling its feet in a dream.
Slowly, she sponges the plate clean. Citrusy fragrance tickles her nose.
A butterfly flits past the window.
Children’s laughter reaches her ears. Smiling, she looks up and watches her child jump into the pool for the tenth time.
Splash!
