Early morning tea

It was early in the morning. The pups were sleeping, and Melanie was having her herbal tea on the terrace. She was enjoying the couple of hours of silence she had before her grandchildren woke up.

She needed to find something to do for them in case Lara and Nate were late. The couple hadn't been out forever and would surely enjoy their time alone.

She couldn't count on their punctuality. However, the twins had been so calm and obedient that she hadn't felt any weight from keeping them. They would usually listen, but running after them was a little tiring. The day before, she hadn't needed to check on them either.

Just when her cup was getting empty, she heard a pair of steps in the hallways. Here it was, the reason why she hadn't needed to work hard to keep the pups.

Luther appeared with two cups of steaming water. She caught the aroma of her evening tea bags and sighed. He had got the wrong ones!
