ok first things first, what book????

secondly, so beautiful, the second half of your story made me forget about the start of your awful day by the beauty that you described in the kitchen.

Reminds me of when me and my siblings all get together, which will be in about 3 days, all of us.. and it is exactly the same as you have described here!

The universe is perfect, isnt it, thank you for this beautiful reminder.

Just saw the comment below, Running with Scissiors? I think my sister has it!
