wherever life plants you
It hurt her heart that her son was missing his second family. And though it might not have been his maman's preference, she could think of something that might help. "Why don't you invite Edmund to stay here? Would you like that?" she said, more than willing to open her own to another child, even if she didn't get along with his mother. If it would make Jude happy, then she was happy.
"There's beef and lots of vegetables." she said. He would see the chunks of meat, potatoes, and carrots in the brown liquid, and even a few peas and kernels of corn. "It still needs to thicken up, but we don't want the bottom to burn. Why don't you take a turn at stirring it?" she said, offering him the wooden spoon. The Nightingale wasn't used to men cooking and hadn't thought to pull Jude into the process. But she would keep in mind going forward that he had an interest in it now.
