She dreams of Julian, as she'd seen him on Mikhail's video feed: blond, giggling. He stands on a kitchen chair and helps her mix the dough. He's a mess, flour and sugar covering him and the floor. Juliet laughs as he calls her Auntie and smacks his lips against hers.
But she wakes to the smoke alarm blaring, the smell of charred cookies. She's crying as she rushes to the kitchen, tosses the ruined pan to the floor; she flings the front door open to air out the smoke.
She can still taste him, and his sticky sweetness against the cloying humidity of the island makes her gag.
