Murder She Baked: A Plum Pudding Murder Mystery Page #3

---

He is a very rational cat.

He's gonna love it.

Yeah, I think he might.

Norman?

- Hi!

- What a surprise.

What are you doing here?

- Well, I'm, uh-- detective.

- Hey, Norman.

Uh, your mother said that

you would probably be here.

Of course she did.

Well, surprise,

I bought you a Christmas tree.

You did?

That is so...

- Redundant?

- Sweet.

Awkward.

You must feel like

a fairy-tale Princess.

A handsome prince

fighting to save you

from an arranged marriage.

You know, I'm gonna

make up my own mind

about who I want to date, right?

I'm not doing what

our mother wants,

or what you want.

Okay. Seriously, though, this is

your future we're

talking about, Hannah.

Thank you.

I'm so happy to hear

you acknowledge that.

You like making lists, right?

Why don't you make

a list of all the things

you love about Mike

and then make a list

of his flaws.

You know I'm not buying

a used car, right?

Then make a list of

the things you

appreciate about Norman

and compare that

to all of his flaws.

You know, I'm just so glad

you can filter out

your own biases.

I'm just saying

the best man won.

Mike bought his tree

six minutes earlier.

Watch your head.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, hi.

So, I think the solution here is

I donate the tree

I bought for you

to the children's hospital.

- Oh, what a great idea!

- Yay!

Just so you know,

I really appreciate the gesture.

Ah, it's nothing.

Um, how about dinner

tomorrow night?

You free?

Mother will be so pleased.

Hey, can you just excuse us?

Look, there's your tree.

Sure. Bye, Mike. Bye, Norman.

I would love to.

Okay, great. See you tomorrow.

All right.

- Hey, Norman?

- Yeah?

You wanna help me

finish this up?

Man...

I think it's fine

if I push it toward the tree.

Okay, Hannah, I think

we are all set to go.

- You're all good now.

- Yeah, great.

Oh, yeah, wait, watch the tree!

Okay. Sorry.

I got this.

You do? Great. Thank you!

Let me get the door.

I love the decorations

and the lights!

Oh, thanks!

You really put

a lot of effort into it.

Now, coming through the door--

- ...is gonna be a little tricky.

- Okay, wait, let me help.

- Yeah, you take that end--

- I got the heavy side!

I see how this is--

You buy me a tree

and I do all the work!

I was just...

Thinking that maybe it'd be nice

if there was a world

that didn't need guns.

Yeah. Come here for a sec?

- Oh.

- With no guns--

I'd be out of a job,

and that would be

disastrous for you.

How do you figure?

- Well--

- Why?

Well, because

I would probably open a bakery

and then put you

out of business.

- Oh, really?

- You know those rolls--

...of frozen cookie dough

that you cut and bake?
