Every now and then, Karen enjoyed the way he dished her food out or sometimes how his hand brushed hers. Her eyes remained on him and she would smile as he spoke to her. Then she would bloom too among all the people. "Oh, her birthday is next week?" She brightened, "Oh, do let me make a cake fer her, please?" She actually enjoyed cooking and baking, and would happily make a cake for Heidi.

She would take the girl under her wing sure enough if Lorn let her. She loved that this was a family.

She took a bite of roast and her mouth watered. She sighed happily.

"Miss Cora, this is delicious. Ye have ta share yer recipe with me sometime," in reference to it.
