"Thank you, Calli." CC smiled in reply to the compliment.

She, with the fork, turned the cake on its side and cut off a small piece. The moment she placed it in her mouth she realised that the cake was in need of more sugar. Even so, CC mentally praised herself for a job well done.

Then came Sam's lecture about the desserts. About love. And cake. And strudels. If CC didn't know exactly what he meant, she would've let out a sigh of relief at the end, but years of sitting in her mother's kitchen and asking how Anna-Marie's dishes came out so exquisite and her own burnt or just average, and getting the same answer "It's the secret ingredient- love! It makes things come out differently. And because there are lots of types of love, the chef's in restaurants make yummy food, but they love the cooking and not you. But I love you."

CC noted Calli adjusting the radio. She took a sip of tea, watching her. The tea tasted nice, and unlike many of her fellow Wonderlandians, CC was not one for tea. She thought it strange and bitter like coffee, so only ever sweet or fruity teas were welcomed. She decided that lavender tea was unique. A bit odd, so even better,

The expression on Calli's face when she asked Quinn to open her present was wonders on CC's eyes, tired from all that fruit arranging. She'd never seen Calli look so much like a child. It was simply adorable. And that's saying a lot, even if CC isn't one to think Miss Latrans is a frightening being.
