I was hoping to show them to you eventually. I don't think we're having much in the way of an official unveiling, so you're the first one apart from me and the rest of the committee who's seen it.

[ Which makes her feel a little bad – usually, Mina would be the first one to see something like this, but she's not sure her nerves would have been able to stand waiting too long to show him.

She sets the basket of treats between the two of them and carefully pulls the cloth cover from the top – she'd said these were just leftovers, but there's just under half of a pie left, and enough cookies and sweets to leave them both stuffed. J–just how much baking did she and Mina do??? ]

Here – please help yourself.
