The Butterfly Queen's Bounty
In a great big comfy chair in the Nexus, near her door, Ali's in costume as a monarch butterfly and reading a book. Her companion for the wait is a honeybee better known as Alured. Spread out on a table just out of Alured's reach are the treats for sweet-seekers.
Ali's treats this year are flower "pots" with secret compartments inside, lustered chocolate and candy butterfly lollies tucked in between the flowers on top. Inside, candied rose petals blanket generous helpings of chocolate flowers and honey candies, with chocolate pearls and river rocks candies fill in the spaces between. A bucket of ice keeps a variety of drinks cool, and a pot of hot chocolate is at hand too.
Ali keeps half an eye out for trick-or-treaters as she reads to her son, ready and waiting for whoever stops by.
