Layla had felt out of place during the conversation between the two parents, so she'd worked her way to the kitchen and was making a batch of chocolate chip cookies.   As she watched the two talk, she could tell that whatever had caused them to divorce - it hadn't made any kind of impact on their love for Milla-  Layla could tell they both still loved her very much.  They didn't spend a lot of time fighting about which parent bore the blame of responsibility here.<br/><br/>"That's great," Layla answered Milla's father.   "I'm making Milla a batch of her favorite cookies in the hopes it might help tease her out of her room.   You never know, right?" she asked working efficiently, quickly covering the kitchen counter with supplies and ingredients.<br/><em> Got to stay busy..  Or I'll go crazy.</em><br/><br/>
