I yawned and looked at the pink clock above the fridge. 6:28 AM. Time to open the bakery. I quickly washed my hands and as I headed out of the kitchen of Marla's Sweet Treats, I glanced in the mirror and smiled. I looked tired but happy, and as always, a little intimidated. I unlocked the door and saw Ms. Rothbauer, who came every morning, waiting outside. I just hoped that my disappointment was not visible on my face.
"Good morning Ms. Rothbauer! Why don't you sit down and relax a bit while I prepare your espresso a-"
She violently pushed me aside and entered the bakery before I could finish my sentence.
"Can you not be joyful for once Louise? It is too early to be nice," she barked.
I turned around and rolled my eyes, as I made the coffee and got a croissant. I put Ms. Rotbauer's order on a blue plate and walked to her table.
"Enjoy!" I said more quietly.
She shoved her croissant in her mouth with one hand and poured her coffee in a to-go cup with the other. With a sigh, she left the bakery.
An elderly couple who arrived shortly afterward seemed to be equally short-tempered, so I decided to make mood booster fudge. Considering that the bakery has not had any customers who were so rude in weeks, I felt the need to check the recipe book. Since mood booster fudge is a magical recipe the outcome could potentially be dangerous if the wrong ingredients are added.
