Echoes Of Wisteria

Chapter One

Luna Wynslow

"Are you sure about this?" Freya asks me as I add more coffee powder to the cake we're making.

"It's going to be alright. She's a coffee addict. I saw her getting like five cups a day. A mocha cake is just the thing she needs" I say being confident of my observation.

         We're baking a cake for one of our guest. Her boyfriend has asked us last night to bake a cake for her as it's her birthday. They have been here for last four days. Young couple in their early 20s, probably visiting during their college breaks. For some reason it makes me happy. City people visiting our Wisteria Vale while there're so many better options and not to mention they're staying at this guesthouse. My guesthouse.

         "Wisteria Whispers" is the only thing my parents left me in this world. I grew up in it, this is all I've ever known and I wouldn't change it for anything. I saw my parents managing it while being the happiest ever. Somehow watching them made me dream of that too. Running the guesthouse with my family. And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Although there were some change of plans thanks to my asshole ex.

"Now what's that serious look for?" Freya asks.

"Oh nothing, just wondering if Daisy has woken up yet."

           Freya Green is my best friend and the main chef of the guesthouse. I occasionally help her with the cooking.

"I saw June going into your room earlier, she's probably gonna wake her up" she says.

"June? I told her my room doesn't need cleaning and I'd do it myself if needed. That girl never listens." I snort.

            June is the girl I picked up. Crazy how that sounds. Specially when I wasn't in any position to take anyone in that time. She was all alone in the world five years ago, just like I was after my divorce. And we found each other. She was also the first person to know about my pregnancy with Daisy.  God knows how I would've survived if it weren't for her. Till this day I call her Daisy's fairy godmother although she's only 21.

"Mommy!" Daisy rushes into the kitchen and hugs my legs. "June won't let me sleep" she whines.

"Good morning, honey." I say without turning as my hands are still busy. "Well as much as I'd like to scold to June, you know what? I'm baking cakes. You better get breakfast real soon if you want some."
        

            She backs way and makes a thinking posture as if she's making a life changing decision. My daughter is adorable.

"I think you're right. I should go get breakfast. Good girls have their breakfasts early anyways" she runs away.

"She's got a sweet tooth" Freya says.

"Nah, she just loves your cooking"

            After I met June and she bringing me back to life, we both started the guesthouse together. It was struggle for first few months, specially me being pregnant. A pregnant lady and a teenager isn't actually the greatest combo for managing a guesthouse out there. Also not to mention the small town people and their forced concerns. Fortunately, soon enough like the soul sisters we are Freya broke up with her city boyfriend and moved back to Wisteria Vale and we started working together.
            
            For the first year, it was mostly Freya handling everything major, as I was busy with Daisy and June still being too young for everything. But now, everything's perfect. Freya being the chef, June being in charge of cleaning, me being a helping hand for Freya and the manager of the guesthouse. And Daisy being the apple of our eyes.
