12. Tea

The time had come for my annual vacation. There were fish to hook, books to be read… I greatly anticipated the next two weeks.

However, I was also fearful of what I would find upon my return.

You see, my master, although a wonderfully vibrant and loving man, is not what one might call self-sufficient. He has devoted his life to helping those around him and I have discovered that someone who so unreservedly dispenses care requires a fair bit of it in return.

Thus, I spent my last night working hard on a detailed manuscript: "How to Make Tea."
