Alice frowned when Pepper left to go to the restroom. 'Something's not right here...' She shrugged her shoulders and finished eating her cupcake.
By the time Pepper came back, she was already finished eating her donut. As Pepper took her seat again, she smiled warmly. "So Alice, what made you leave your hometown? Why come here?" Alice smiled back at her and took her hands. "My uncle and cousin sent me on an errand. I've pretty much been traveling this whole time." She took a sip of her coffee and frowned. "Not enough sugar..." Taking three packets at once, Alice ripped the tops and poured in the sweet crystals. She stirred her cup gently, making soft tinkling sounds with the spoon.
Alice took another sip and sighed happily. "Ahh, I feel like something special is going to happen sometime in the near future, dear Pepper," she said, giving a sly wink to Pepper.
