"You're such an optimist," said Piper with a laugh.
"You will be too," said Laura. "I can already tell I'm rubbing off on you. You've even started drinking chamomile tea like me!"
Piper thought of chamomile tea. How she longed for a cup of it now. Tea had a way of making you not feel hungry nor thirsty if only for a little while. It calmed her. She could really use that now. Instead, Piper pulled two granola bars out of her bag.
"There's no telling time in here so I suppose it could be dinner time," said Piper, handing a granola bar to Laura.
