“Pie? Again?” Janie leaned on her elbows and scanned the kitchen. “Every night, the same. Pie. And nothing to show for it except dirty dishes and messy counters. Ugh. I could make cookies, macaroons, truffles, crème brûlée! But nooooooo. Pie. Pie. Pie.”

“Uh, Janie?” Sharon glanced up from her rolling pin. “You ever think of getting a different job?”

The younger girl shrugged. 

“I don’t think you’re gonna cut it here—unless we start serving whine with our pies.”

“Ohhhhh! That’s an idea! I love wine.”

Sharon popped a pie into the oven. “You certainly do, hun. You certainly do.”
