I come downstairs and am immediately greeted with the smell of homemade waffles on a plate at the breakfast table, as my mom made eggs on the stove.
"Good morning, sweetheart. I made you some waffles to eat before you go."
"Thanks mom, but I'm already late and I don't think I have time." I roll my suitcase and headed towards the door.
