There was no point in trying to get back to sleep tonight. Perhaps waking up was a blessing in disguise. Bella looked around the unfamiliar kitchen. It was rather neat for the kitchen of a 24-year-old guy; it was just a matter of finding where everything was. In the upper cabinets, she found cocoa, flour, salt and sugar. In the fridge: eggs and butter. She worked quietly, tiptoeing as best as she could, closing the cabinets and fridge as soundlessly as possible.
It was nice being in an actual kitchen. She’d been in the RV for so long, she’d missed cooking and baking. As quietly as she worked, she moved quickly. The last thing she wanted to do was to wake her host; it was no way to thank him for letting her stay at his place until she was better. She wasn’t sure how long it would take for her to grow accustomed to the new medicine, but there was one thing she knew for sure: if she didn’t take them, she could think clearly again. She could walk without feel perpetually dizzy. She could feel like herself. She stirred the batter faster. She didn’t want to think of all the consequences. They only made her uneasy. Pushing her thoughts away, she poured all of her concentration into the fudgy goodness. While they baked, she washed the dishes and cleaned up, making the kitchen perhaps even more spotless than when she’d started. She wandered into the living room, admiring all the opened books everywhere. Her fingers ran over the spines of a few of the leather books. Canine Anatomy, Entomology, Holistic practices in Veterinary Medicine. They were all interesting, but she didn’t want to disturb the states in which they were left, so she returned to the kitchen. Moments later, she was stuffing her mouth with brownies. The warm, gooey flavours burst on her tongue, making her temporarily forget everything. Later, she’d pack them into a container and present it as a gift of gratitude. It was the least she could do.
