Lucy was kindly welcomed into the home of her son Connor and his wife Eve following the death of her husband. Lucy needed some company during this trying time because she was an elderly and frail person.
Connor made arrangements for his mother to have a room on the first level in order to minimize any needless pressure on her fragile knees because he was aware of her restrictions.

ve took on the role of housewife as Connor put in long hours at his IT job. Because of this, Lucy and Eve spent a lot of time together and grew close. Eve enthusiastically accepted Lucy’s offers to help with cooking and household chores. But as time passed, Eve grew more and more dependent on Lucy.

A few days before Christmas, Eve made an unusual request that startled Lucy. Eve requested Lucy to go grocery shopping for both that evening’s dinner and Christmas dinner after she finished the laundry. Lucy was surprised by this abrupt request because she was too weak to go shopping alone and they generally went together.

Lucy became aware at that same moment that she was beginning to feel like a maid and that it was time to speak up. But she didn’t want to go without imparting some knowledge to Eve. Lucy wanted to let Eve know that her presence and contributions were valued, even though she was unable to go right away because she had rented out her own house and needed the money.

Lucy took the lead this Christmas and made everything from soups and salads to sweets. Upon tasting her delectable concoctions, the visitors were in awe of Lucy’s culinary prowess from the moment they arrived. Eve was astounded by the feast Lucy had laid on.

Eve approached Lucy as she was going to the kitchen to wash the dishes after supper. Eve apologized for not appreciating how much work Lucy had been doing around the house and stated that she was eager to chat. She realized that by wishing to relax, she had added to Lucy’s workload. After realizing the value of Lucy’s assistance, Eve apologized sincerely.

Lucy took Eve’s apology with a knowing smile on her face and made it plain that although she wanted to help, her age and physical state made it impossible. After realizing how important their relationship was, Eve recommended they go unwind while she prepared Lucy a cup of tea.
