Mallicks: Back to the Beginning (Mallick Brothers 5)

Because his words were drowned out by a familiar sound, one I knew from several decades ago, when I had five hungry boys around my dinner table, waiting not-so-patiently for me to serve up the food.

Hands closed around forks.

Fists slamming against the wood of the table.

Making glassware wobble ominously.

As now two generations of Mallicks demanded to be fed.

Charlie gave me a squeeze.

And we took our place at the head of the table.XXRECIPEEarl Grey MadeleinesIngredients:
