212 Lady Of The Night (36)

(Outskirts Of New Atlantic City)

(Castle Eden- Kitchen Area)

Mary rubbed her eyes sleepily and stretched out her arms with a lazy yawn. Bright beams of sunlight illuminated the kitchen from the window that she had just opened.

It was now late in the afternoon sometime between four and five o'clock. Mary had just woken up and was ready to start her day.

First… it was breakfast time.

The young woman hummed softly to herself as she washed some fresh vegetables under a stream of running water and then chopped them carefully using a knife.

Then she grabbed a few eggs and also dipped them under the water. She was going to make a simple breakfast of fried eggs and salad.

It was fortunate that the original Mary had learnt how to cook over the years because her father treated her and her sister like slaves or servants.

If they didn't learn to cook… then they would have starved.
