April dished up lasagna for Kit, Mary Lou and Suzi. Deana sat on Mark’s lap, and April stood with Mitch, leaning against the wall, watching them dig in. Soon the kitchen was filled with laughter as the friends found their way past awkwardness and hard feelings.
April knew family didn’t always come as advertised. The packaging varied, and sometimes it was hard to recognize. She’d learned to accept love in whatever form it took.
