It's early in the morning, before even Michelle gets up, when GK carefully lets himself in. And it's Michelle he starts with, because if he starts with Zoe, she might, actually, pull a gun on him.

So she'll have the chance to hear it from the other room as he brings her Mom a candle-lit tray of food.
"Good morning! Happy Saint Lucy's Day. Now technically, the tradition is that the youngest of the family makes everybody breakfast in bed with saffron buns, but even if she's got two weeks on me there, I think we can all get behind the idea that Zoe should not bake."

	Michelle sat up and was about to say something when they both heard something hit the wall. She smiled at GK. "I think that was a sneaker. And yes, Zoe should not bake." The other sneaker hit the wall. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Ooh, maybe she damaged it and I can take her shopping for new ones," GK asserted, smirking. "But yes, I hope you like breakfast; I use a little extra cinnamon for the buns. I should probably go bring Zoe hers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Michelle smiled at him again, such a nice boy and a good influence on her daughter. She was happy Zoe had a friend like GK. It eased her mind and heart about Zoe's future.

The little darling in question had her head under a pillow when breakfast came through her bedroom door. The blankets were pulled up high and the footwear used to express her opinion about /their/ opinion of baking skills were in a heap by the connecting wall.

It couldn't have been a seriously angry opinion. They weren't heavy boots, after all.

	He's got a tray for her, and a cheery disposition that will not take pillow for an answer. "Happy St. Lucy's Day! Patron Saint of Writers. Also sore throats and blind people. Odd combination. But for some reason, celebrated with breakfast in bed, candles, and saffron buns. So eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She grumbled but sat up obediently. It was no good saying no to GK. He just did stuff anyway. "I'm not a writer or blind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was impossible. "Writer's kid. Guy-who-can-make-good-saffron-buns' nephew. I was raised on this stuff, I get to keep doing it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He was completely impossible, but it was a sure bet that anybody with less nerve couldn't stand her on a regular basis.

She grumbled a little more, but without any heat to it. She drew her legs up under the blankets so he would have space at the other end to lounge when he finished checking her closet. It /had/ been a month since he'd decided her winter wardrobe needed sprucing up.

"Thanks," she mumbled, biting into a bun. Which was heaven and got a tiny happy sigh.

	GK looks with satisfaction on all the charcoal grays and choocolate browns that he'd made sure to include Couldn't have her going back to plain black or something. "Feel like braving the cold today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I honestly don't know," he admits. "But we could go looking. I don't want to get cooped up inside too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoe chewed thoughtfully for a few moments. Her friend needed to find a boyfriend and soon. Not that she could help. She'd infect him with her bad luck and then where would they'd be? "Okay, we'll go out. I hope you have a plan other than wandering around in the cold for hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have several strategic stops planned in local establishments. If none of them are being robbed, we can just get things like pie and ... stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)
