Nancy pauses and frowns, just as the kettle starts to sing. Electric kettles. They were the best.

She moves from her spot again, back to the kitchen to pour them each a cup of tea, before setting them on a tray with milk and sugar and bringing it into the living room. She set the tray down on the coffee table and handed Pel her mug, first.

"C'mon then. Tell me what happened, if you can. I won't say anything until you're done, and you have my word, I won't laugh." She perches back next to Pel, just as her cat, Juliet, peeks her head around from Nancy's bedroom and decides the noise is something to investigate.
