Cris returned to the Greenhouse to check on the tea leaves he had left out to dry. He hoped that despite it being freezing cold outside, the temperature in the Greenhouse would help keep the leaves warm and dry.

Walking over to the flower bed, he smiled to see that both Adi and his tea leaf collection were still where they had left it. Walking over to his batch, he reached down to feel their texture. Yes they were most definintely more brittle and dry. Just the right texture for making tea. Picking up its respective plastic bags, Cris gently picked up the leaves and delicately placed them into the bags.

He wondered whether Adi would be returning today to retrieve his leaves too.
