Lyle and Amaris pulled stools over to the counter next to where Anna sat. Each of them grabbed up a bowl of stew and began to eat in silence. When everyone was done Amaris collected the dishes and began to wash them in the sink. Lyle got up. Looking for something to do he walked over to the stove and started the ketlle. "You look like you could use another cup of tea." He said to Anna, taking her cup from her as she finished the last dregs. "Amaris would you like one?" Lyle said as he began to move across the kitchen to the counter where the box of tea bags sat. He looked like he was moving in a daze, just looking for something to keep busy. Without waiting for an answer he opened the supboard and took out 2 more mugs. He continued to busy himself.
Amaris finished washing the dishes lost
