Honey joined the ladies in the kitchen, where they shared his success once again. Honey blushed as Menna held her glass of water up and toasted his success. It took him a moment to catch on after the others raised their glasses. He raised his and clinked it against the others, realizing just how little he knew about the world around him.

"Uh, look. It's just something to make me a little bit of money so that I can help with bills until I can save up enough to get my own place."

"Nonsense," Menna said. "You'll keep your money and just help out like you have been. No one can get Nana to behave like you can." The group shared a hearty laugh, even Nana.

"Miss Nana behaves when she wants to," Honey commented, "and I can't change that, but I can definitely try to keep her happy."

Nana howled with laughter and replied, "The both of you could learn something from this boy!"

They laughed in kind and took turns talking about each other’s day. After everyone had finished their supper, Menna gathered their plates and returned to the table with a platter of iced cinnamon rolls.

"I hope you all have room for my special dessert." Honey's eyes grew wide, and his stomach growled at the sight of the beautifully crafted cinnamon rolls. They looked just like Betty's, only bigger and with a much thicker layer of icing.

"Those look wonderful," Honey said, trying to contain some of his excitement. "I can't believe how delicious they look."

Chroma scrunched her nose at her mom.

"Aren't cinnamon rolls a breakfast food?"

Menna brought the milk to the table and set a mug out for each of them.

"Not today."

She passed little plates to each of them and served one roll onto each plate using a set of tongs. Despite his usual need to stand on ceremony and wait for the lady of the house to start her meal first, Honey found himself unable to control himself. He grabbed his fork, used it to peel some of the outer-most layer off, and took a bite. It tasted like the light of heaven in his mouth. He had never bitten into anything so delicious in his life. He looked up at Menna, who was already digging into her own cinnamon roll, as were the others, and said, "Menna, this is delicious! What did you do? It seems like it has more...something than I'm used to."

"It's probably the cinnamon," Menna replied. "I hear it's hard to get on the outskirts, but I can order it through my work and pay my boss for it out of my wage. It makes everything better."

Honey nodded in agreement as he chewed the big bite.

More cinnamon, Honey thought. That must be it.

Based on the difference in taste, Honey guessed that Betty must have skimped a little on the precious substance and replaced it with more sugar to keep from running out. Her cakes were always delicious, but this was beyond words. Before he knew it, he had scarfed down the entire roll while the girls were still only halfway through theirs.
