Chapter 12

“Brownies,” Jane said. “For later.”

At this point Moto and Alvin came to check out the smell of Jane’s legs.

Kayla smiled and said, “Thanks so much—how sweet. I’m sure they’re delicious. Should I put them in the fridge?”

“No—they should be fine. I made them this morning.”

“Well, let me put them in the other room and close the door, then. I don’t want these two to get tempted.” Moto and Alvin hadn’t yet noticed the presence of a new food item in the apartment, as they were too busy checking out Jane. Kayla took the brownies into the bedroom—she was surprised when her guest followed.

“I love your bedroom,” Jane said from the doorway. “Very cozy. Especially the beautiful quilt.”

“Thanks,” answered Kayla, a bit uncomfortable with Jane in the dark room. “My granny made it a long time ago.”

“Well, it’s gorgeous. And so are you.”

Kayla blinked, a bit shocked at this remark. She didn’t know what to say.
