[color=FFF79A]“You know, I would, but I don’t typically gift smartasses.”[/color] I retort just as the waitress comes back. I order the French toast with extra berries before I pick up my coffee with both hands and just observe Avery for a moment until the waitress leaves again.

I mirror the smirk he’s been giving me. [color=FFF79A]“You can’t get mad at ‘small talk’ when you won’t let someone dig deeper.”[/color]

I meet Caden’s eyes, almost afraid that this might be the last time, but firmly reminding myself that it’s not. Mika pushes her headd into my shoulder now as if trying to show me she agrees. [color=#9B111E][i]“Dankeschön.”[/i][/color] I whisper as my lip quivers again and my eyes fill once again with moisture. I move my hands to cup his face as well, staring deeply into his beautiful eyes.

I put the SUV in park and nod. [color=F7941D]“I told him that this fountain is an heirloom in my family and that I got his info from the workers at the Hindu temple. I also let him know that the fountain was very valuable and had many rare jewels on it.”[/color] I look over at Cass. 

[color=F7941D]“I even used one of those AI image generators to make it.”[/color] I pull it up on my phone, showing her that I got many ‘photos’ of the fake fountain.
