Overheard Conversation at the Phantom Tea Parlour




Just wait a little longer, if you can smoke it out-

It’s been so long. I thought he would have written by no-

How much should cupcakes cost? I only brought-

This last part is illegible- is that an ‘h’?

Please remember, now don’t give me that look, please remember to move the rug before the lighting, we don’t need a repeat of last year-

Marshmallow cupcakes, maybe…

Since when did I make all the decisions? Call her if you want.

Just don’t tell poppa. Please, I couldn’t bear it if he knew.

So I told him to pull out his lighter and put that to use, and do you know what he said?

Nothing. It was empty, just some junk and nonsense.
