"Do I smell baking?" asks a voice from just outside the kitchen.

"Yes you do!" says Hilary. "We're celebrating!"

"What are you—oh. Hello, Bella," says Judith as she steps inside.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

"Oh," she repeats. "Congratulations!"

Entirely sincere, and entirely without thought of contrasting this accomplishment against her delinquent son's dwindling likelihood of ever graduating high school. Alice smiles.
edgeofyourseat: Lurking. (⑻ out of the doorway)

"That does sound like a lot," Judith says vaguely. Alice hands her a cookie just to give her something to do other than ramble.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

"Busy being awesome," says Alice.

"Yes, I think that's clear," says Judith, and smiles.
