It was a well known fact that the Boleyns were not to be trusted in the kitchen.

So when Elizabeth asked her mother if she would help her bake Scotts cake for her birthday, Anne should've said no.

Because Anne knew better than to try to do anything in the kitchen.

Elizabeth was undeniably better than her mother.

She hadn't set anything on fire for a solid 3 years.

But she also hadn't tried to cook/bake for 2 of them.

And Mary had been around to help do damage control.

This time only the Boleyns were available for each other, so they did their best.

At least they still have a house.

___________

Mary grumbled as she did the dishes.

It was almost over she thought to herself.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her mother staring into space. Then she jerked her phone out and started typing furiously.

"Hot date tonight?" Mary snarked from the kitchen.

She instantly knew that was a mistake.

Her mother looked up and glared at her.

"Keep it up, and I'll add another week."


"Sorry mother."

Her mother then turned back to her phone. Her frown was almost immediately replaced by a shy smile, and she started to bite her lip.

Mary had never heard her mother giggle before.

So it was frightening when she heard it the first time.

Her mother was in a fit of laughter as she continued to type through her laughs. Suddenly she got up. Right before she closed her bedroom door Mary heard.

"Anne! What? I'm not laughing at you! I'm laughing at....... something else."

Mary rolled her eyes at the way her mother was acting. Like a love sick teenager.

____________

Lizzie stared at the stove with her mother beside her.

It was no longer usable because of a little incident with fire involved.

"I had such a good streak going mom."

"You should've known better than to ask me to help."

"That's on me."

Her mother pulled her phone out and started typing.

"What are you doing?"

"Asking Lina to help us."

"Make sure she doesn't tell Mary, I don't need her judgment too."

"Obviously, one Aragon making fun of us is enough."

"Please, you have been searching for an excuse to text her since you guys went on your date."

"Shut up Bessie, I don't have to take this."

Lizzie watched as her mother texted Catherine.

Almost immediately she responded, and her mother grinned from ear to ear at this. Lizzie had no doubt that they went off topic for at least 3 minutes.
