The cookies are done, and I slide them out, shifting them onto baking racks to cool. Perfect. Leaving the hot baking pan there, I put a second one into the oven, already loaded with dough. Probably two more of each, if I've estimated right. Three dozen cookies.
Belatedly, it occured that I might have made a few too many. Oops.
"Milk and two, please." I've had tea before, of course, but Jade's brand of choice smells something different than this. I grin wasily at the compliment, accepting my teacup and inhaling the fragrant steam. "Mmm. So does the tea." I take a cautious sip, trying to avoid burning my tounge.
