She was feeling almost devious. Not that Cassandra had set out intending to feel quite so... like she was doing something she shouldn't be, after all she did have the best of intentions with the plateful of double fudge brownies in her hands. It had taken some thought, but eventually Cassandra had settled on the brownies rather the cake, after all Rhett's mother apparently made the best chocolate cake in the South. She wasn't quite ready to take that title on yet with her cooking. Plus who didn't like brownies? Apparently some people liked them with some other stuff in them that wasn't exactly... good for you. Not that brownies were 'good' for you to begin with but that was besides the point. Cassandra's brownies were only made with things that were found in the kitchen cupboards.
The baking had gone easily. After her last class she had left her bag in her room, fed her cat and hurried down to the kitchens. She was a regular down there with as much time as she spent trying her hand at various new recipes she found. This particular brownie recipe was one she had already tried before and she knew it was a winner, at least Micah had said so... but he did have something of a biased opinion in that he loved all sweets it seemed. She had spent an hour or so measuring, pouring, mixing and baking. When the toothpick came out clean she set the pan out to cool while she found a plate and some plastic wrap to put over top of them. Maybe not the fanciest of set ups but it would do the trick of getting the welcome treat up to the house of fire.
And they had made it just fine. But, that was exactly where Cassandra's plan had shown a distinct <i>lack</i> of planning. She knew where the hall was and it hadn't been hard to get someone to let her inside the common room. But that was as far as she could get. Did she go to his room and knock on the door? That just seemed awkward and she knew she wasn't supposed to be in the boys hall. Not that she hadn't gone and knocked on Jasper and Micah's door but she knew them. Rhett was only someone she was meeting, no matter how well he knew her sister, he was still a stranger to her, just like her sister still was in a lot of ways. Not to mention she didn't even know which room was his. That was just a whole big mess she didn't even want to attempt.
Standing in the center of the common room, Cassandra turned several times, to the right and then to left. Whoever had let her in was long gone up to their room or wherever they'd been headed. Darnit. How on earth was she supposed to.... this was not a good plan. She should have at least sent him an email or something and planned a time or place to meet him. But oh no, she'd want to make a surprise visit with the brownies. God and she didn't even really know what he looked like. Horrible, horrible plan...
Maybe it was just time to hit the restart button... head back to her room and sent that email. Not like the brownies were going to go bad.
