Soon the kitchen filled with the smell of garlic, butter and tomato sauce. "I can help," Mara offered. "I've got it." "You know where everything is?" He smiled while opening the correct cupboard.

I stretched slightly, squinting my eyes slowly. The instant my eyes were clear I walked down to the kitchen. On the kitchen canter was a breakfast memo which I studied carefully.
