“After I'd polished off one pastry and was halfway through a second, he asked, "Happy pastry?"
The laugh bubbled up around my mouthful of blackberry jam and vanilla custard. I swallowed and said, "Understatement. Ecstatic pastry. Delighted pastry. I-love-you pastry."
He cracked up. "Wow, strong words. All I had to do was bring you the finest croissants in the land."
I put my plate on the nightstand and crawled to him. "Please don't think you have to buy me fancy pastry all the time so I'll stay in love with you."
"What do I have to do?" He set his plate aside. "Spoil Floyd rotten? Make you shrimp for dinner every day?"
"Be yourself," I said.
His wolfish grin was gorgeous, and when I kissed him, his joy was buttery sweet on my tongue.”
