Chapter 138
I found a bottle of cranberry juice on the top shelf, and I was tempted to guzzle it down, but Dad would have been really disappointed if I’d done something like that. I put the bottle on the counter next to a cookie jar. At first I thought the cookie jar was shaped like a dog, but then I realized it was a wolf.
At least it wasn’t a rat or a bat.
Now it was a matter of figuring out where they kept the drinking glasses. This entailed more searching, but not as much. I came across them on the first try, when I opened the cabinets above the sink.
The glasses were more like jewel-toned goblets, and I chose one that was a dark amethyst.
I filled the goblet, gulped down the juice, and filled the goblet again, this time sipping more slowly as I took the lid off the cookie jar.
I helped myself to a cookie—chocolate chocolate chip! I stuffed the whole thing in my mouth, and chewed.
