Rosie continued to recall the memories.
After eagerly awaiting Stephen's arrival, Julie hid her injured fingers so he would not notice. In the and, Stephen simply gave an earnest assessment, "Not bad."
Those two words alone filled Julie with joy for days, so much so that she couldn't sleep all night. From then on, Julie became obsessed with cooking, often spending entire days in the kitchen, often injuring herself in the process. But she never complained, instead, she was filled with happiness and anticipation.
Sometimes, when Stephen was too busy to come home and eat what Julie had prepared, she would be depressed for the entire day.
I tried to reason with her several times, but Julie was too deeply involved to listen... Strangely, Mom and Susie never objected to Julie's efforts on behalf of Stephen. Not only did they not object, they actively supported her.
