Chapter Five

The next morning, Cayenne took a shower and headed downstairs for breakfast. It was Saturday, and everyone was eating brunch together. Of course, the topic of discussion was Basil taking on the two wolves and Cayenne’s badass defense of Basil. Eventually, people dropped the topic, and it was time to clean up.

“Can I see you upstairs?” Cayenne asked Basil as she cleared her dishes. “The studio?”

“Sure,” said Basil, and once they finished cleaning up, they headed upstairs together.

Cayenne opened the door to the suite from her room and met Basil inside. The studio looked even better than she’d dreamed of. After all, how couldn’t she have had a night filled with dreams of the gorgeous paints and brushes that Basil had stocked the room with? There were even empty frames and hanging equipment for her paintings and a big couch. Cayenne sat on the couch, and Basil pulled up a chair.

“I just wanted to thank you for last night,” said Cayenne. “And…for this.”

“For this?” said Basil. “It’s nothing.”

“I know you said not to thank you, but I feel that I must,” said Cayenne. “Is there any way I can repay you for your generosity and for defending me?”

“Repay me for the studio by using it,” said Basil. “Repay me for defending you by being more careful…and I’m talking about you working too hard. It’s not safe, okay?”

“Okay, okay,” said Cayenne. “I did a lot of thinking at brunch. Everyone couldn’t believe that we took on those two wolves. I couldn’t have done it alone, Basil.”

“And I couldn’t have done it without you,” said Basil.

“I guess Alice was right,” said Cayenne. “We work better together than apart. I guess the only question is, what will be harder: fighting off two wolves, or figuring out what to do with the restaurant?”

“We can brainstorm,” said Basil. “But…it is a Saturday. What happened to taking it easy?”

“Well, we should get along better,” said Cayenne. “We can learn about each other, get to know each other. I still don’t know much about you, Basil. I know you’re a Scoville, you like some downright weird food, you cook a mean gyudon, and you travel a lot.”

“I knew you liked that dish,” teased Basil. “I learned about it when I was in the Hokkaido district for study abroad in high school.”

“Is there a country you haven’t visited?” asked Cayenne, crossing her arms.

“Hey, I can’t help it I have so much free time to travel,” said Basil.

“I’m kinda jealous,” said Cayenne. “I wish I could travel.”

“Can’t you?” asked Basil. “You know, Sage and Herb arranged for Addison to attend Bonimolean…you could ask Herb for a trip as well.”

“I couldn’t do that,” said Cayenne.

“Why not?” asked Basil. “Are you making things harder for yourself again?”

“Maybe,” said Cayenne. “It’s just, and this is gonna sound stupid…but, my grandma, my mom’s mom, Barbara Quigley, is this strong, inspirational woman. My mom didn’t have much growing up, a lot less than my dad. My grandma lives in a nice house in
