"Emmi, what're you...?" Avia tried to butt in, "Hello?!"
"I think I lost you!" Emmi cried before slamming down the phone.
"Thanks for the help, Em." Avia said sarcastically at the receiver.
Emmi crept out of the coat closet when she heard a cough from above. Looking up, she saw her mother, uncles and grandmother looking down curiously on her.
"Hi!" she said in a cheery voice, "Had a phone call. From a friend at camp. It's an old camp tradition... Talk to your best friend from inside a closet... kinda stupid, I know but..." she stood up and replaced the phone.
"So... Breakfast anyone?" she asked immediately changing the subject.

"Ok, here we go!"
Miley carried a plate with bacon and eggs and another plate with a stack of chocolate pancakes. She brought them down in front of Avia who seemed disinterested in her breakfast.
"Most important meal of the day... Eggs sunny side up, bacon, toast and just in case you're really hungry... a stack of humongous chocolate chip pancakes which smell incredible, if I do say so myself." Miley said proudly after putting the plates down.
"Thanks Miley," muttered a distracted Avia.
"You're not hungry again?" Miley asked with a frown, "You hardly ate your chili, your favorite food in the world and now you're not eating your breakfast. Are you sick?" she asked worriedly putting her hands on Avia's forehead.
"I'm fine, I promise," the girl said with a small smile and shrug, "Where's Dad?" she asked.
"Oh," Miley muttered and walked back to the stove, "He and Miss," she put on a high-pitch preppy voice, "'I'll only have half-a-grapefruit thank you'" Avia giggled, "Left about a half an hour ago. You overslept and he didn't want to wake you. Of course, I'd oversleep too if I was up at midnight making mysterious phone calls from my bathroom."
Avia tried not to look like a deer caught in headlights as she choked on the orange juice she was drinking, "Oh, that. I was calling a friend from camp. Mildred. She lives in London."
"Oh, I see and you wanted to call Mildred at a time that was convenient for her because of the time difference." Miley stated knowingly as she poured herself coffee.
"Exactly! Because of the time difference." Avia nodded with a smile.
"Uh-huh. So you waited until it was three in the morning her time. That makes perfect sense."
"Actually," she quipped in her American accent, only realizing it by the look Miley gave her as she stopped sipping her coffee in confusion. "it was seven at night her time. You see she lives in London but she was on vacation with her family in New York." Avia explained with a triumphant smile.
"Very smooth." Miley said staring at her, "Ok look smarty-pants, your father wants you to go over to his office as soon as you're done with breakfast."
"He does? Thanks" Avia bit off a piece of toast and munched on it.
"I'm done!" she said and hopped off the stool. She was about to go out when Sammy barked at her again making her jump in surprise.
"That do has gotten so weird..." she remarked rushing off to one of the French doors as her godmother looked on from the kitchen doorway.
"Bye Miley, thanks again for breakfast! It was great!" she cried out distractedly pulling on the doors. It wouldn't budge and she pulled it again.
"Push Em." Miley instructed and the door was opened.
"Sorry, I...forgot." Avia said with a giggle. Miley looked on as her goddaughter rushed off wondering what was going on.
