Right or left…left or right? Hmmm…

I need to make up my mind; I can’t stand here all day.

Then suddenly, I hear a voice call from down the hall leading to the right.

“Does anyone want chocolate cookies?”

Clutching Ferdinand against my chest, I dash down the hall. I pass two closed doors but I don’t pause to wonder what’s behind them…I must find the door to the kitchen.

Then I smell it. The glorious, intoxicating smell of warm chocolate cookies.

Ferdinand’s nose twitches. I pause to run a finger down his back. “Soon.” I whisper.

There is a door at the end of the hall, on the left, it is open and light is pouring forth from it’s entrance. The smell of chocolate grows stronger. We are almost there.

I race through the door, breathless with excitement. A girl is standing with her back to me.

“Hey…you…cookies.” I gasp.

She turns. It’s Germaine, with a smile on her face and flour covering the front of her shirt. In her mittened hand she holds  a tray of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.  The tantalizing smell greets my nose and in the pure bliss of the moment I run up to Germain and throw my arms around her neck.

“You are AMAZING!”

Now, for the cookies.
