There've been a couple of texts from Joel over the last few days, and the last one was this morning, saying they're headed home.
She's up early because she's always up early. 5AM to her is sleeping in, but normally she wakes up at three, and twice Coop and Genevieve have woken up to the smell of things baking in the oven. The last few mornings have been spent sitting on Coop's back deck as she cradles a big coffee cup in her hands, watching the sun come up over the ocean. Still, she gets the text and she's glad to go home because she missed them. She'd just been home to feed Balto, otherwise she was throwing all of her time at the bakery and one night Coop actually did let her make dinner for them.
But today she's going home, and the moment she gets there she's busy. She's busy and humming to herself and for once this week she's not covered in dirt, it's flour and chocolate. The kitchen smells amazing, and she hears the front door open and close just as she's doing the whole powder sugar thing, and she turns around - because either they're both going to be the happiest people in the world, or they'll still be Spencer and Joel, and either way? There's a cake. It just depends on whether or not it's a wedding cake, that she's going to know in about 3.5 seconds.
