Veronica/Bill - half hour after the competition
Veronica had mostly entered the baking contest for fun. It had been awhile since she baked for anyone. Back in high school she would bake snickerdoodles placing them in a ‘spirit box’ to put in her boyfriend’s locker on game days. Of course that was before he dumped her, before his sister was murdered and Veronica’s life went to shit. But then she ended up in Preya, thoughts of her old life, of snickerdoodles were long behind her. However, the baking contest seemed like the perfect place to dust off her old skill.
Veronica entered an apple crisp snickerdoodle. She honestly hadn’t been expecting to win, or even get second (which was what she placed). It was more about just seeing if she still had it in her. Seeing if it would bring back all those bad memories. It hadn’t. That life was eight years away, and it felt like a lifetime.
However, now that the competition was over she wasn’t about to pass up the chance to try some of that winning cake. It looked absolutely delicious. “I think I have to try this cake that beat me,” Veronica said with a grin.
