The dog, Mason, had left Ryans lap and retreated to his doggy bed in the corner. Seth walked in, dragging his feet, and still in his pajamas. He shot a disgusted glare at his father as he walked by. Ryan raised his glass of orange juice to his son. Seth rolled his eyes and greeted his mother. Once he had totally bogarted half of the bacon he had a seat to the left of his dad, and ate in silence. This was not out of disdain, but merely out of fatigue. He was up late last night texting a girl he met a few days back.

The shower shut off upstairs. Seth's ears perked up and he stood from his seat. he grumbled and left the kitchen. He passed his sister in the hallway on his way to the bathroom. She stuck her tongue out at him as they passed. Seth roled his eyes and entered the bathroom.

Mariah entered the kitchen with a big smile. She was much more chipper after her shower than she would have been if she hadn't had one yet. "Good morning mom and dad." She said happily. She grabbed a plate and piled the rest of the food onto it. She sat in the seat across from Seth's and began to eat.

Ryan Smiled at his daughter as she sat down. "Morning Mariah" he said. He turned his attention to Adri. "That sounds fantastic, we can divide and conquer on these meetings and we should be able to have this all done before noon." he said. He retrieved a piece of bacon from his plate and took a bite as he leaned back in his seat.
