Cute little bakeries were right up her alley, and she grinned as she polished off the initial piece. Her imagination wandered down particular treats and possibilities – wondering if there were regional portions she might be able to snag and try. Tying her hair back and out of her face, save for a few loose waves and curls, she opted for a smaller portion next, layering the jelly upon the bread, but not wanting to fill up, as there were other delicious things to go around.
The question only gave her the slightest pause, calculating timeframes in her mind. “I’d love that. But I should leave fairly early tomorrow.” Given her duties at the Celestine; the animals that would need tending – and she figured, if even she was gone for too long, things would begin to look suspicious. Giving a hopeful glance over her next bite, she prospered a slight smile. “Do they open first thing in the morning?”
