According to Jason, for the new neighbours, Adele and he should bake something and greet them with it because the previous ones did so as well. So Jason took the mixing duty and Adele got the baking and icing duty after having an hour-long lecture about being lazy whereas her answer was she took it because she was a girl and being creative just came with it. Needless to say, she was now standing in front of the new neighbour’s door with cupcakes in her hands beside her father.

“Okay kiddo; remember being nice is the key. No swearing, no being rude and-

​​

“Hey I do not swear!” she cut him off after hearing that particular accusation and she wasn’t rude either.

“See now that’s what I’m talking about. You’re rude.” Jason smugly replied, happy at the just proven point.

Adeline opened her mouth to argue and but Jason ran and knocked on the door. He turned and gave her a toothy smile which Adele returned as a mere show of sarcasm. Just when she was going to tell him that it was a war the door opened and a pretty redhead came out. She had looked at her father with a small smile and when she looked at her a large smile replaced the small one. Weird, she thought it was literally like a light bulb went off.

She greeted them and Adele presented her the muffins as a welcome.

“Please, come in.” the lady said.

“Yes please do.” A young heavy voice called out and the light bulb lit up in Adele’s head this time.

Oh shit, she knew that voice.
