I sighed softly to myself as I walked around the house.

Today was the day Alice was going to conquer her fear of baking. She can cook a mean buttery omelette Gordon Ramsay would approve of but baking a whole other thing.

Two minutes.

That’s all the time I had left.

Two minutes until I solidify my status as either the greatest success or the ultimate failure with my new friends.

No pressure.

“So? Do you have an answer?” Someone shouts from the back. I look up from the incomprehensible to anyone but me scribbles of my notebook toward the gangle of costumed people surrounding me.

The murder mystery underway had gon...
