Hiro poked her head out and saw Alex. She smiled warmly as she opened the door for him to come in. "Oh hi Alex. Coming here early to get some studying in before the nuisances appear?" She let herself chuckle at her joke. She was wearing a frilly white apron and jeans with a t shirt. Despite her casual appearance, she was adorable. "Come on in. But take your shoes off please." She smiled as she left the door open for hum to come in as she went back to cooking. She was cooking some spring rolls and had a platter with cheeses and pepperoni and crackers spread in an organized fashion. Some cups were laid out on the counter on a tray, adorned with a pot full of hot water for tea and a little cup of sugar with small spoons at each cup. She learned how to cook from her mother, she didn't like to brag, but Hiro always thought that her mother was the best at cooking ever. She always said that the chef's on those cooking shows couldn't top her mother. She smiled at the memory.
