Jane and I woke up refreshed. I noticed Jane spirits and moods are improving. We both are sleeping better which is good thing for us both.

I made us a very light breakfast, English muffins with eggs and ham. I was exploring more eating meat I try to stay away from except for the holidays but I knew Jane loved meat for breakfast. We had our usual cranberry juice and bottled water and small cup of expresso.

We hurried got ready and went to our local international market to buy all the ingredients that I didn't have and containers for people to take home with them. Jane offered to help with the cost.  I reluctantly gave in because I knew  Jane was a very proud woman.
Jane was my seus chef.
We made all these lovely dishes. Maura labeled each dish. Several of the dishes she wrote the ingredients down for anyone who may have allergy that she didn't know of. Of course with Maura,  a salad is required.

Jane set up the plates like a pro. There were more than enough for us.I got to know Tommy a little. I did notice he was a big flirt.
Angela was glad to finally see Jane. Angela asked to speak to me alone. Angela said, "Dr. Isles whatever you are doing,  please keep it up. This is the first time in a long time I have seen my daughter looking so refreshed and relaxed." Angela, "please call me Maura and its been my pleasure getting to know your daughter. I can tell I am more relaxed, some of habits are changing too and that is just being around your lovely daughter." She hugged me and we brought out coffee and Angelas double chocolate cake she made.  Angela and I packed up containers for several to take home. Angela and the guys cleaned up for me.

Everyone left.  Tonight was a huge success.  Jane went and changed into her boston sweat shirt,  shorts and Boston socks. I changed into my pjs for the night.  I set the house alarm and we went to bed after taking Joe Friday out. Jane was getting more comfortable around Bass. Bass and Joe Friday were doing well together too. Jane and I stayed up until one a.m. talking. I turned on the fireplace and stayed in my pjs. We cuddled and went to sleep.
