She sighed loudly and mentally began ticking off her checklist for the hundredth time.
Hearing four loud chimes from the grandfather clock, she darted up awake, alert and anxious, like a deer being chased by a lion.
Making her way to the kitchen she set the tea pot to boil, taking in deep calming breaths.
She fingered the red and white board with a wry smile that read "SPUNK & BITE" that the decorators would put this morning before the grand launch of her restaurant, hoping everything would go well.
