He was so scared that he pressed himself against the wall by the stairs. Catching his breath, he ran to the kitchen door and shouted, “Mom, Claire, what are you doing? It’s so early in the morning! Don’t you usually sleep in until noon?

“Why are you acting so strange today? What are you making? What’s that suffocating smell? Oh my god, the oven is smoking! Fire extinguisher! Quick!”

Between them was a plate of small, charcoal–black cookies. Hank pointed at the plate with a blackened face.

He asked Claire, who was also covered in soot, “Mom, Claire, can you tell me what this is? Squid ink cookies? Ink cookies? Ink biscuits? Why did you suddenly decide to make these?”

Claire propped her chin on her hand, just like Hank, and sighed. “Oh, I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about some things and couldn’t fall asleep. When I can’t sleep, I like to find something to do. I watched some short videos.

“And I saw someone making dried mangoes. They looked delicious, so I tried to make some. It doesn’t look like I was very successful, though.”

Upon hearing the words “dried mangoes,” Hank froze. “These are dried mangoes?”
