The Gallagher kitchen is a chaos of clattering pans and overlapping voices this morning. Morning light cuts through the grimy window, catching the steam rising from the stove. Kassadi is there, spatula in hand, flipping something that smells almost edible. Lip's at the table, nursing coffee, Ian's leaning against the counter, Debbie's arguing with Liam over cereal. And there you are, you, Kev and V's oldest, stepping through the door. The noise doesn't stop, but Kassadi's eyes snap to you, a cold little smile flickering. Carl, slouched in the corner, watches you both. What do you do?
