1. Phew! That should be everything in its place now.
  2. And high time we took a break, if you ask me. Lugging all those boxes was hard work.
  3. Hey, why don't you join me for a meal? Might be nice [cdb]to head into town for once.
  4. Hmm, I'm not that hungry just yet, though. Oh, I've got it!
  5. If you'd like, we could have a tea party. I have a cache [cdb]of delicious treats we can eat as well.
  6. Sure, I guess I could go for some tea. Where'd that [cdb]idea come from, though?
  7. Well, I received some sugar recently as a gift from one [cdb]of the soldiers I mended back to health.
  8. I used it to bake the most wonderful confections. I'd love for you to try them.
  9. Huh, that does sound good. And a little something [cdb]sweet once in a while never hurt anyone.
  10. Then we're settled. Give me just a moment— I'll get everything ready.
  11. Whoa, these are incredible! I've never had anything [cdb]quite like them before.
  12. I'm glad to hear it. I'm particularly happy with how [cdb]those turned out.
  13. It does actually taste kinda familiar, though. Almost like this snack my mom used to make.
  14. Really? You don't say.
  15. Yeah. I was raised in this little village off in the [cdb]mountains, absolutely surrounded by nature.
  16. Sometimes, Mom would go out and gather fruit [cdb]from the trees, then bake things with them.
  17. Mmm! There's nothing better than a dessert made [cdb]with fresh fruit. I love them, myself.
  18. You can knead them into dough and bake them, [cdb]or preserve them in honey so they can be enjoyed [cdb]the whole year round.
  19. My mom's stuff was never quite as fancy as the things [cdb]you make, but they were special in their own way.
  20. And even though we didn't have them too often, [cdb]just one hint of that flavor and it's like I'm a kid [cdb]again. Guess they were just that good.
  21. It's wonderful you have that memory to look back on.
  22. I can tell the time you spent with your mother was [cdb]very precious to you.
  23. For sure. Though I don't remember it too well [cdb]anymore.
  24. Can I...ask you something? Do you ever wish you [cdb]could return to the past? To those days, with your [cdb]mother?
  25. It's a nice thought.
  26. There's no point living in the past.
  27. It would be great to go back if I could, yeah. We'd have so much more to talk about now that I'm older.
  28. But the past is the past. My mom is gone, and there's [cdb]nothing I can do to change that.
  29. Not really, no. Besides, even if I wanted to, it's just [cdb]not possible.
  30. Yes... Yes, I suppose you're right.
  31. Hey, what's wrong? Was it something I said?
  32. Hm? Oh, my apologies. I must have been [cdb]daydreaming for a moment there.
  33. Here, try this one next. I made it specially to pair [cdb]with the tea.
  34. Sure... Thanks.
