Chapter 3: Everything else but cooking

11 months later

“Hugh, we're back...” Lisa called from the doorway. She and Becca went shopping three hours before.
He didn't reply. He was too immersed in playing the piano. A piece he wrote eleven months ago, the dia after his wife's funeral. It was the only thing that he had played ever since then.
Lisa came in the room.
“Did you hear us?” she smiled, taking a assento in one of the chairs in the room.
Hugh nodded, still concentrating on the playing.
“Ok... You're not into talking... I'll leave you to it” she got up from the chair and went to the kitchen.
Rebecca came in the room a minuto after.
“Hey dad” was all she said as she made her way to her room upstairs, tons of shopping bags in her hands.

After Jo's death, the kids had moved to the states. It was that, or the kids would have stayed with their grandparents. And Lisa suggested it would be better if the kids were around Hugh, so the kids moved in.
Hugh had gotten a mês off shooting after Jo died, and Lisa asked for one so she could be there for Hugh.
She had been there for him ever since Jo... passed away. She took care of the kids, made sure they went to school/college when they needed, and often went shopping with them, just like she had today with Becca.
She also made sure the house was in order. First month, she was dropping por every day, to make sure Hugh and the kids were fine. Hugh was never fine. He was always somehow lost. Almost like, a part of him died with Jo.
As Lisa started staying over night, helping Hugh deal with the horrible nightmares, it became mais than obvious, that she had to mover in.
It was done, mais informally, nobody ever said she moved in. She, just did.
First, she brought her things over, she was staying in the guest bedroom. Next,refrigerator started being filled with soya products. Then, she brought all of her books in the house. When she brought her cachorros and cat to the house there was no doubt she moved in. The kids loved the animais being around.
Lisa was often taking Hugh to jantar when he felt like crying. She made him do yoga when he wasn't feeling too well. She organized tênis matches with the kids when she found him going though Jo's pictures.
She was there every time Becca started missing Jo, and she was there for boys when they felt like they didn't want to do anything.
Hugh was really thankful to her for all that she did. If it weren't for her, he would have lost it a while before. And kids really, really liked her. And he li...

Suddenly, a delicious smell started coming from the kitchen, and made him stop playing.
And that was odd... because, he never stopped playing the piece before its end.
Hugh wondered why that was. Not wanting to think about it anymore, he got up and headed to the kitchen.
He walked in the cozinha just to find Lisa making massa, massas alimentícias and sauce.
“You know, you could tell your daughter hi sometimes” Lisa said, tasting the sauce.
“I was playing the piano...” Hugh said absently, he wondered why all of sudden he found Lisa beautiful.
“Yeah, you play it most of the time you're home”she said still not giving him full attention “lacks salt” she said opening the cupboard with spices.
Hugh came to the cooker, and tasted the sauce himself. “And oregano” he said simply
“Are you questioning my cooking, Hugh?” Lisa grinned, it was the sweetest grin he'd ever seen.
Hugh mentally kicked himself, why on Earth did he start noticing Lisa's smiles all of sudden?
“No” he said, and holding back a smile, slightly turned away.
“You know... that's the first time you didn't finish playing the piece” Lisa said trying to add the oregano so that Hugh wouldn't notice.
Hugh nodded, turning back “And I know you added the oregano”
Lisa started giggling. Hugh found that very--
'Hugh, she's your best friend!'
“Sue me” Lisa replied, stirring the sauce. “Taste it now” she said picking up the spoon and shoving it in Hugh's mouth.
“Delicious,isn't it?” she asked with a grin, as he 'evaluated' the sauce.
“Of course, when you added the oregano” Hugh smiled at her.
“Oh, you got a little...” Lisa said, gesturing to Hugh's face “...sauce over there”
Hugh used his hand to remove it from his face “any good?” he asked, still struggling to find
where he got smeared.
“Let me” Lisa smiled, taking a cloth and gently removing the sauce from the corner of Hugh's lips.
“There” she smiled, her hand now on his shoulder “all good”
Their gazes met. They were both still for a few seconds, but to them, it could have been hours. Hugh leaned in unsure of what he was doing... And Lisa followed his actions.
Just as her hand was about to reach his neck, Rebecca came into the kitchen.
“I smell...” she said stopping in tracks as she saw what was about to happen “...dinner”
