“Come on. I should be taking the cake out,” Caramel finally said. It felt like they had danced for hours, though it had only been a couple of minutes.

“Aww, do you have to? You’re so warm,” Blossom said, leaning in closer to Caramel.

“Unless you want the cake to burn. Besides, that’s what you get for wearing a dress.”

As they glided through the kitchen, Blossom snickered to herself. Was this actually happening?

“What’s so funny, ma fleur?”

“It’s just, two months ago, I never thought I’d be slow dancing in a kitchen with a French boy while waiting for a cake to bake.”

“Well, it’s not exactly common,” Caramel retorted.

“You doofus. I know that.”

“There. It should only be a couple minutes for the cake to finish,” Caramel said, still looking at the oven.

“Really? It smells like it’s done,” Blossom responded.

“Just because it smells good, doesn’t mean it’s done.”

“Well, what are we supposed to do while we wait?”

Hymenaios: Aurora is writing a book.

Creme: Oh really? What’s it about?

Aurora: It’s a love story that takes place here in Windenburg. It’s between an artist and a chef.

Creme: Really? Any reason?

Aurora: It was Hymenaios’s idea.

Hymenaios: Heh heh, how about you read your latest chapter? I haven’t heard it yet.

Creme: Oh yes! That’d be lovely!

Aurora: Oh, well, you might not understand the story…

Creme: I’ll catch up. Now, read!

Aurora: Ok…

Creme: I’m so happy you two are good friends. It makes up for the fact that Cumulus and I aren’t as close anymore. It’s such a shame that my husband would freak out if he saw you.

Aurora: So am I supposed to be a secret to him for my whole life?

Creme: No. Maybe when he’s come to his senses more.
