Presley shoved her fathers letter back into her jammie pocket. She grinned again. She was so happy lately. Ever since she'd talked to her father and Leo, she felt like a huge load had been lifted off of her back.
"Tons of fun," she agreed with her cousin.
So Presley's aunt wouldn't be there? Well, at least Manolo would be, and he was always good for a laugh. Presley smacked Awar's hand out of the bowl.
"No snitching until it's done," she scolded jokingly. She tossed in about three tablespoons of salt. Cookies had to have salt didn't they? They were almost done, so Presley turned an over on to 400. It seemed like a pretty good cookie baking temperature, right? She reached for the cookie sheet on the counter, and started spooning cookied onto it.
Pres offered the bowl to Awar. She could snitch some dough now if she wanted. The two of them should be on a muggle cooking show together.
