Midmorning Surprise
Sasha had been plotting something. She had risen with Ali, doing what she could (if anything) to ease her beloved's morning sickness. With Sel's help, though, she had a surprise planned for when Alison was feeling better: brunch. Waffles with syrup, cream, and berries; slices of melon, of bacon, of French toast, of less-French toast, of breakfast ham; eggs just waiting to be scrambled, poached, soft-boiled, fried; milk, juice, coffee; a veritable cornucopia. It is Sasha's hope that everyone in the house will enjoy this brunch, but her real focus is on Ali's.
