“Yes.” She smiled. “I’m just thankful for so much right now, and I just wanted to thank our God for it.”
“We should do that more,” he commented.
“We all should,” Devon said. “Emma knows a bit about going without, don’t you, baby?”
Emma nodded. “Yes, but certainly not to the degree that you must have lived.”
“I’m sorry for you.”
Emma smiled at Devon. “Don’t be. If it weren’t for what I’d gone through, I never would have met my daddy.”
Aisha nodded. “That’s true. I don’t think Drake’s and my life would have ever crossed paths if not for the turmoil in my country.”
Drake nudged her. “Eat, eshgham.”
“What does that mean?” Emma asked.
“It means my love in my language,” Aisha told her.
“It sounds so romantic.”
“I thought so, too, honey,” Drake said. “Let’s eat before it gets cold.”
