It was five in the morning when my alarm went off, I sat up and squinted against the bright morning sun that was shining through my window. I got out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom to get ready for work. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, put on my pressed white shirt, and black slacks, and grabbed my purse. Then I headed down the stairs, that led to my apartment, and walked the five blocks to Melody's Cupcake Shop. I entered the dainty little shop and the bell tinkled as I pushed the door open. "Astrid? Is that you?" Sarah, the newest staff member, asked,
"Yes, Sarah, it's me." I sighed, I walked across the shiny tile floor and behind the counter.
"I'm so glad you got here! I was starting to think you might not show up!" Sarah said nervously, she was a big worrier, that girl worried about everything! I didn't answer her, I just poured twelve cups of water in the coffee maker, started that up, turned on the ovens, and started baking cupcakes, scones, muffins, and other breakfast treats.

"Sarah! The muffins are going to burn if you don't hurry!" I told her, she was trying to put on oven mitts over her gloves.
"But if I don't put these mits on, I will burn my hands! And if I take my gloves off and put the mits on my hands will get cold!" Sarah complained, I rolled my eyes and held back a rude retort. Sure it was cold in New York, but she could live ten seconds without her gloves!
"Here, I'll do it." I said, taking the mitts from her and placing them over my hands, I opened the oven and removed the muffins. They smelled so good, I smiled and placed them on a cooling rack. Then I removed the mitts from my hands and placed them aside, "Can you open the doors?" I asked Sarah, it was six thirty, opening time. She nodded and walked toward the door, her pink ballet flats clipping on the tile floor. I did a quick glance around the shop, checking to see that everything was in its place, then I began to remove the rest of the pasteries from the oven.
