Breakfast

Eira woke up like she thought she would. With a hangover.

A groan slipped out of her when she walked slowly to her bath to freshen up. She remembered that she had promised Liam breakfast so she walked to the kitchen and looked through the fridge to find something edible. There were some eggs and fruits so she decided to make pancakes with fruit.

The dough was easy to make. She took flour, some milk, baking powder and a little cinnamon and sugar (optional) and mixed it all together. While she let the dough rest for a while she prepared the fruits. She cut some strawberries into thin slices and because she had some apples left she also cut them. Then she started to preheat her pan and started to pour the first batch in.

The sizzling sound and the beautiful smell woke Liam up from his dream and lured him into the kitchen.

"What is smelling so good? Is that my breakfast?" He asked while licking his lips.

"Yeah, it is. Go freshen up and have breakfast." Eira smiled and started to laugh when she saw how Liam looked like. His bed hair was standing up like the ones in dragon ball. He didn´t notice it and nodded obediently and walked to the bathroom.

That made Eira laugh even more.

Liam soon returned. This time with his hair fixed and fully awake. He naturally went to the cabin and took out plates and utensils for them to eat.

"Thank you, Liam." Eira thanked him when she saw what he did.

"You´re welcome. When is the food done?"

Eira laughed. "Don´t be so impatient. I am almost done. Here take this for now." She gave him a stack of pancakes that was steaming hot.

He gladly took it and placed in on the table. Eira joined him with another stack.

"Okay. I am done. Have a seat." Eira placed one before her and another stack before Liam. He sat down happily and tried it.

"Hmm, they are so good." He let out. He closed his eyes to savor the taste.

"I am glad you like them." Eira also took a bite out of her own pancake. "They are seriously good this time." She praised herself.

"They are better than the one I had back then when I was in France," Liam told her.

"Really? You were in France?"

"For a year or so." Liam shrugged and continued eating.

"Tell me about it." Eira inquired.

"There was the Eiffel Tower. Baguettes. You know. All the stuff you hear about France." Liam continued to rather concentrate on his pancakes than answer her questions. She saw that so she stopped asking.

"When you are done we are going to work. I have some clothes you can borrow. Hope you don´t mind." She said dejectedly and started to clean up the table.

Eira drove Liam to work where he got his spare clothes while she directly drove to BAZOO to see if John really held his word. And to her relief he really did. They had already checked all the delivered goods and had stored them in the storage room. John had texted her and asked her about a meeting place but she declined and tried to buy some more time. In the end, he agreed to meet her in one week.

For now, she had time to concentrate on the "Surprise Wraps". There is only one day left until they would launch it. Nothing could go wrong now. A lot was depending on it. News already got out and people were excited to taste it.

Hopefully, nothing goes wrong...
