It's quiet downstairs, Alexis notes. Normally, she wouldn't be so concerned: her dad would probably be writing. But he's just handed in the final manuscript for his newest book, and most likely wouldn't be writing. So Alexis checks on him.

He's standing at the kitchen counter, adding strawberries to a pinky liquid. She reaches for it, but her dad yells out, "Don't drink that!"

"Why?"

He takes a breath. "Well, there's strawberries, ice cream, broccoli, orange juice, some ketchup, coconut, water, hand soap, and I think I a napkin's in there as well."

The red-head laughs. "I won't ask again."
