Chapter 3 - smiling's my favorite (3)

Snickerdoodle, always been a funny word, always will be a funny word. When Risen realized she needed groceries for both the bakery and her home. That's what she decided to get ingredients to make her first pastry in Virginia.

As she was making her way to her car (Which was a rental, but other people didn't need to know that) she saw it was snowing as she opened the door of the apartment complex. Well, back inside she goes for a coat.

Once she gets to check out, she had a particular conversation with an old bat.

"You sure smile a lot," the check out gentlewoman had uttered

Risen had two choices

Say "well if I don't, won't people tell me to do to anyway, this is mahogany! You cant win Say "I just like to smile, smilings my favorite"

Since the old woman hadn't been that bad, she figured she'd just quote Elf. An immaculate movie if she said so herself.

On Risens' way back from walking in the snow. She decided that instead of going to the bakery she would go home make the cookies there. Then come and give them to her neighbor. She didn't want to have to clean everything at the bakery.

Though she had figured out a key ingredient was missing, So when she went to the cupboard to look for it. She quickly found out that 1. she didn't have cinnamon and 2. you can't leave the microwave open and not hit your head at her height.

Now she has a bruise on her head. Not very noticeable, but if you look closely you can see it. She still doesn't have cinnamon. Yay.

On Risens' way back from the store, again. Feeling her losing her smile. Even though, smiling is her favorite. As she had stepped in a puddle and got sprayed muddy water on her new shoes. She's having the best day.

Long story short, she is wet and grumpy.

After the cookies were made, she went to her neighbors to knock on the door. As she's knocking, her neighbor doesn't answer.

*knock*

Again no answer. So she got some string and tied the cookies to the doorknob, leaving a little note that says:

Dear stranger in apartment 136

Hey! I'm your new neighbor, Risen. Thought I'd make some cookies for you. I didn't know if you were allergic to nuts, so there isn't any, just snickerdoodle. Hope you had a good day.

XOXO apartment 134
