Tahnee lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She let her senses drift outward to let her know how much activity there was in the house. She could smell bacon, and heard voices. She guessed that Kahree and Meekaylah were up, and a few others. Knowing she would never get back to sleep with the sun lighting her room, Tahnee rolled out of bed, straightened the covers, and opened her shades and balcony door to let the day in. Then, running her fingers through her hair, she headed downstairs.

She entered the kitchen to find Leenah, Haylee, and Jaymee admiring Jaymee's shoes -- heels, this early in the morning?? -- Emmah drawing, and Meekaylah and Kahree working on breakfast. Tahnee giggled at Kahree, who was watching the bacon as if willing it to cook faster. Kahree looked up at the sound and Tahnee shot her a huge smile as she plopped herself down next to Meekaylah. The kid was so sweet. It was too bad she wasn't really understood by a lot of people.
"Morning, sis," Tahnee said to Meekaylah.
Mmm, that bacon did smell good...
