I was so used to doing the cooking, cleaning, and picking up after others. It had become second nature as the oldest sister and then as the owner and chef at the Cauldron. I was used to being in charge, but I was also used to taking care of everything and everyone else. Don’t get me wrong. My sisters always helped and chipped in, but I was the one who always led the charge in everything, even in the smallest of chores like clearing the table after dinner. It was my instinct to do it now, but Ruben’s little gesture of taking over made me feel…quite good actually.
