Cat wakes up early for her yoga routine, her matcha and she gets ready to go to the breakfast event; she just stays in the event for one hour, at 1 pm she's ready to prepare her breakfast when her doorbell rings.

She opens the door to see no other than Élise holding a bag.

"Morning" Élise smiles. "I brought your things". She wasn't prepared at all for her visit. "I'm making breakfast, wanna come in?" She nods happily. Cute Cat thinks. At the entrance there's a small hall that leads to the living room, there're three sofa's and a tv that she rarely uses, there's a small table in the centre, next to it it's the dining room with a table for 6 people, the kitchen and the dining room are connected by a counter, in front of the dining room there's the big window and the balcony, next to that room there's a big wall and there are two doors, in one door is the main bedroom and the bathroom, in the another door is another room with the service room.

Élise notices the R&B music, it sounds good.

"Is omelette fine?" Cat asks. Élise responds with a smile. She has no idea what to say, probably she wasn't expected to be inside her house again. Cat breaks the silence.

"You can keep that, I don't normally wear leggings, I wore it only once, so I was about to give it away, if you don't have problems with that keep It".

"I feel like I take many things from you and the suit looks expensive". Élise is a bit embarrassed.

"It's a bit short for me" Cat laughs. "And material things are not important". Cat says while cutting mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and spinach.

"Can you pass me an onion?" Cat says and Élise goes to the fridge, when she opens it, she keeps frozen.

"Élise?"

"Sorry..." She hands the onion. Cat smiles "Is there a corpse on my fridge?"

"No, sorry, it's just I'm a fan of desserts". Cat laughs hard, she has the facility to make her laugh. Élise kind of enjoys that sound.

Cat focuses on cutting everything, breaking the eggs with a hand, and doing everything with such facility that Élise just looks at her.

"You're like a professional". She's surprised.

"If Raoul listens to that he'd just laugh... he's my friend, he's the chief chef of the company, he gave me those desserts". I took them She thought.

"I may not be picky but I can distinguish a good meal from a bad and yours are delicious...well, it was delicious the oatmeal". Cat smiles at the comment.

"Sorry, can I help you with something?"

"Mmm...Can you pass me the plates? They're there". Pointing at a cabinet. "And two cups, I suppose you'd like a coffee".

Élise hands the things. "You start to know me...talking about that, how did you know which one was my bag?"

Cat didn't want to say she saw her with her boyfriend "I saw you had it before...my skill is to observe". Something she has improved over the years.

Cat serves the plates and the cups of coffee, Élise helps her to take them to the dining room. "Isn't it a bit late for breakfast?"

"I don't eat early, I'm not hungry". Élise remembers she eats oatmeal with her the other day, but she didn't say anything about it. She takes a spoon of the food; she doesn't care to show how much she likes.

"I could eat like these every day". She says without thinking before, Cat looks at her with her eyes open and she turns red, Élise startled when notice her reaction. They continue eating. "Do you have plans today?" Cat asks just out of curiosity. "I'll meet my bestie, it's been a while since we saw each other, she's my friend from university". She plans to tell her about her crush, but it is an inner thought.
