The York Gallery [4/17]

Eve was at the front desk with her expanding file o' handouts from all her classes. Yay for studying! And yay for a job where she could study when she wasn't doing work.

The exhibit seemed to have gone over well so far, which was another thing that had Eve in a cheerful mood.

At some point during the evening, Charlotte came hurrying down the stairs in the lobby that lead up to the landing to her apartment. She gave Eve a quick wave and a short greeting as she ran with restrained panic into the gallery, her hastily thrown on heels clicking as she went.

A few moments later, she returned to the reception area with a hand to her quickly thumbing heart and a deeply relieved sigh to match her expression. "Oh, thank goodness. Eve, dear, you didn't happen to see any smoke going through around here at all, did you?"

"Uhhh, no, no," Charlotte said, waving a hand and shaking her head. "Nothing's wrong. I was just....uh, making sure, that's all. Good to know. Everything's good, yeah? No problems. I should just let you get back to work, then. Routine smoke check, really."

By 'routine,' of course, Charlotte had mean that she was mostly just checking to see just how much of the smoke from her attempts to bake cookies remained in her apartment and how much drifted downstairs.

It wasn't that she wasn't a good baker, because she was, normally. This whole debacle was really quite an unfortunate anomaly.
