Adriana\\\'s Saturday morning schedule was as follows: wake up, water the plants, feed the cats, make coffee, and fetch a batch of sweet breads from the bakery. She and her family lived next door to the Herbalist, which is to say they lived two doors down from the bakery, and they very much enjoyed their weekend treats. Out of her siblings, Adriana felt happiest with a nice sugary pink concha in the afternoon on a Saturday, while Boffo, her favorite of the cats (and also the fluffiest, which was not a coincidence), sat in her lap waiting to be pet. 

But she never pet Boffo while she ate her afternoon treat. Who would pet a cat while they were eating? The idea seemed insanitary, though he always tried very hard to pursuade her.
