Every morning, once the programmed coffee maker finished brewing, a middle-aged widow and her adored stepdaughter sat at the kitchen table to reflect on a lost love who left the precious gift of geminating inseparability.
After helping with the breakfast dishes, the doughty little girl ran outside to water her three favorite flowers while the novice homemaker fell against an empty sink clutching her anniversary pearls.

I do so admire how you can pack so much story into two sentences. It does, however, make me desire more of this particular story.

Beautiful. It made the song Daughter by Pearl Jam come to mind! Evoked that same melancholic feeling in me. Incredible how much depth of feeling you can create in two sentences. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
