92 Obstacles before the festival [Bonus chapter]

Talia reached the kitchen that was already bustling with activity. Stephanie, Zina, and Dawn were working in full swing, and based on the mess, Talia could see that they started a while ago. Talia felt guilty for coming late.

To her surprise, no one scolded her.

"Oho! I was not sure if you will make it!", Dawn exclaimed excitedly, and Talia frowned at the loudness of Dawn's voice.

"Looks like hangover…", Zina said and pushed a small packet with pills in Talia's hand. "This will help. Take two right away and in fifteen minutes the headache will subside."

Without a word, Talia opened the packet and Dawn was already handing her a glass of water with advice, "It's important to stay hydrated."

Talia gulped the pills and then thanked Zina and Dawn while Stephanie was ushering them to continue with their breakfast-preparing activities.
