Scene to read · Resilience, Empathy
The last big kitchen
You are the adult child of Jareth and Jaromir, visiting the family home before it sells.
Your parents, Jareth and Jaromir, are downsizing, and half-packed boxes fill the empty kitchen where every holiday dinner was held. Jareth is sad to leave it. Jaromir wants you to take over hosting in your smaller home.
The scene
Jareth: Thirty years of holidays in this kitchen. I can't picture them anywhere else.
Jaromir: It's a new chapter, Jareth. Our child has a home and energy for it.
Jareth: A smaller table, though. Some family might feel there's no room for them.
Jaromir: We'd help however we can. So what do you say, will you host?
