“But not ‘singing angels’ good. Add a touch more zest, Adrian. And Lena, that cream filling? Darling, you’ve outdone yourself.” Her praise made me blush. “Thank you.” “Don’t thank me yet,” she said, wagging a spoon. “Tomorrow, we start on the centerpiece cake. Triple-tier. Lemon, vanilla, and almond. It’s got to be a showstopper.” Adrian groaned good-naturedly. “You’re really trying to kill us.” “Only creatively,” she said sweetly. That night, as I left, I glanced once more at the door, half expecting another envelope. But there was nothing. Only the soft hush of evening rain and the distant sound of a violin playing somewhere down the street.

"Sure." The lingering citrusy scent of limes and lemons struck Kyle intensely, flooding him with a wave of nostalgia. Tears welled up in his eyes. As he blinked, the photos hanging on the strings disappeared, and the well-painted concrete walls transformed into wooden bricks, transporting him back to the days when happiness found him easily... He stood there, smudging the table with whipped creams and sticky dough, having no intention of checking the cookies in the oven that were obviously being overbaked.

Although she’d noticed Caramel pulling a face earlier when she’d tried a bite too. “That’s not very nice,” she muttered. “Neither is this cake. And it shouldn’t even be called cake. It’s criminal that it looks so delicious and yet tastes so terrible.” Her mouth was open as she gaped at him. She wanted to be angry. But the truth was that Saber was right. It was sad. That’s what it was. Sad-cake. “If I have to deal with your neighbor, Spitfire, I’m going to need actual cake. With actual sugar. And actual fat.”

Maybe he doesn't feel the same way I feel about him. Loving him still now is so wrong but it feels so good. It feels like he is my world. Like the sun rises after the moon's descent, it's natural and inevitable. I can't fight the feeling. The worst feeling is feeling unwanted by the person you need the most. There is a lot of difference between want and need. Want is a luxury, while need is something you cannot live without. I had a lot of reasons to leave, to give up on you. But still I chose to stay. You had a lot of reasons to stay. But you chose to give up on me. Why? Just why? You just cut and threw me out of your life like it was something easy. Making me think I deserved it. We were n

I can’t take my eyes off the lemon cake. Syd understands. He picks up a piece and brings it to my mouth. I don’t mind his dirty hands and take a bite. Lemon cake is the best thing in the world! After a while, I feel better. My body, though fragile, recovers faster than the usual wolves. It’s probably the only good thing my parents left me. I tell Syd to let go and start enjoying the roasted chicken with my back against the wall. Syd sits next to me, eating too. In no time, we wipe out all the food.

she asked excitedly, taking a slice. “You’re on a diet, aren’t you?” Matthew teased. It was not a joke because we all knew that Sadie watched the food she ate strictly. “Just for today. I really missed this lemon pie,” She smiled, moaning as she tasted the pie. “Aren’t you going to eat?” She asked, looking at us.

It was that fun breakfast together on the island that one last piece that Tara ate, and the hard lesson she all made us realize.

“I will be right back.” In the kitchen, I sliced two chunks of the still-warm cinnamon cake I found cooling on the counter and set them on a tray along with two fresh glasses ofblemonade. Back outside, I handed one of the plates to Hope and placed herblemonade on the table beside her lounge chair before taking the seat by hers. “This is Alba’s signature cake.” Not bothering with the fork, I picked up the fat chunk I’d sliced for myself and bit into it. “God, it’s delicious.”

As soon as she finished talking, the help arrived with three plates containing lemon meringue cake. As I sat down to enjoy my afternoon slice of lemon meringue pie, I could hardly contain my anticipation. The moment my fork first sank into the flaky crust, I knew I was in for a unique experience.

Its velvety smooth texture was a delight, though I was intrigued by the fluffy white cloud poised above.

Thankfully it was the former and after a few seconds, the white-Ette spoke. “I have a few things to take care of back at the company. Rodrigo’s been acting out.” A lie, Anastasia could tell, but she let it p*ss. “Sure, I'll drop by Meg’s shop and have one reserved.
