It was easier to keep busy than to obsess over The Incident, and so it was that Soh found herself in the kitchen, determined to repay some of Harper's kindness with breakfast. She'd read somewhere, in some book or other, that sometimes we have to make our own happiness, and seeing as today was a new day, she was determined that she should find some small bit of joy in the day, even if it was only to do something as simple as making breakfast for her almost-dad.
She tried to be quiet - she really did - but she heard footsteps and then Harper's sleepy voice asking if she needed help. Disappointed that she wouldn't be able to have everything ready as a surprise, she shot a slightly guilty look over her shoulder, pausing in her gathering of ingredients. "Oh, no, did I wake you?" she asked fretfully. "I was trying to be quiet. I wanted to make us some pancakes."
