It was the next morning I awoke from my slumber still tired and wanting to go back to sleep. I tossed and turned all night long scared of what the next day would bring. I slowly crawled my way out of bed making my way to the dresser and putting on my favorite green dress that I loved to wear now. I know I always hated wearing dresses, but I guess as mary said it will grow on me and I will like it. Now I do and today I will go and work the pub while Anna takes the day off to do laundry and relax hopefully. I brushed my hair and tightened my dress one more time seeing that it was beginning to get a little loose on me.
"Damn. I guess since there is not any salt in really anything in this time, I have lost quite a lot of weight, but my ass is still big. It also looks amazing in this dress still and with my waist now being smaller I look amazing."
After checking myself in the mirror I walked down the stairs, grabbed my coat and left for town. The morning air smelled fresh and nice and cool against my skin. The walk was nice and woke me up within a couple seconds. I saw some redcoats along the road and bowed to them to which they tipped their hats. Though I never did notice that they watched me walk away as I kept going and they slowed down a little before turning away and heading to their post. It was finally after twenty minutes of slowly walking that I arrived at the pub and walked in the back door. I started with the fire as the winter air was already starting to come upon us. Then I started on warming up some bread that Anna had made yesterday but did not get around to making it. Once that was done, I set to getting a nice breakfast ready.
I got a couple pans set up and started with some eggs that were set aside. Crashing each one I started to make scrambled eggs. I put some oil in the now made bread and set to toasting or trying to toast each side. I got the sharp cheese from the cabinet and started cutting that into chunks setting them on the now done eggs. As I pulled the pots off letting the eggs sit so, they do not burn, I walked towards the front of the pub and opened the door. No one was outside which was not surprising. As the only people I did see were the three redcoats at the boat post trying to stay warm in the cold air.
'They have been there all night and even though they are the enemy, I personally don't have anything against them. I guess it wouldn't hurt to get them warm.'
I went back inside and put on another pot setting it over the fire. I walked over to the buckets of milk that Cicero dropped off early this morning before even I woke up.
'That boy needs to have a day off and not get up so early. He is only a child.'
I poured the milk into the pot and made sure I stirred it a bit. I went back to the cabinet and grabbed the coco powder that Selah likes to use for seasoning. Took a bit of it and poured it into the milk stirring as I went. I kept stirring until I knew it was nice, hot and mixed. I went and checked on the eggs to make sure they were still nice and hot then started gathering plates, silverware and cups. After securing everything on platters I went back to the door and went outside.
"Would you gentlemen like some hot chocolate and hot food to get warm?"
"Oh yes Miss Stephanie that would be lovely!"
The quickly came over, grabbed a cup and plate each and set to devouring it. After a couple seconds one finally spoke up.
"What drink is this Miss? I have never had something like this before."
"Yeah it tastes like something sweet. It is so warm and relaxing."
"Well, were I am from we call it hot coco. Its milk with coco power mixed and warmed up. Do you gentlemen like the eggs and toast?"
"Yes they are filling. We thank you again Miss for the food and drinks."
"It is my pleasure gentlemen you men have been here all night and deserve something hot to put in your bellies."
