“I was just about to ask you if you were ready for me to bring the crepes over, but it seems you’re quicker than me.”

Accompanying Volf’s voice was a sweet, mouthwatering aroma from the kitchen, something Dahlia hadn’t noticed until now; in fact, she had been so absorbed in the embroidery, she didn’t know how long it had been since she started working. “It’s a small piece, and I had the design completed already.”

Looking at the stitching, he grinned from ear to ear. “That really says ‘Made by Dahlia.’ It feels like I could become one of your magical tools when I wear that undershirt.”

“I can’t say I like the idea of you turning yourself into a magical tool, though you do have a point—with just the emblem on your back, it does make you look a bit like a product of the company...” Though he was great as a salesman and a face of the Rossetti Company, it wouldn’t do if he seemed like merchandise. “Let me put my name underneath as well.”

Her surname wouldn’t help, but perhaps her given name might. Among her threads, she found the one closest to the color of the shirt and then stitched “Dahlia” below the logo. The first character was a little too big and the rest were a little too small; striking the right balance was harder than she had thought.

“Why did you choose the same color as the fabric?”

“I don’t have experience stitching letters, so I figured it would be better if they weren’t too noticeable. Once I get better, I’ll use something different. And, um, besides, I thought it’d be fine as long as you knew my name was there.” Her rushed excuses hardly explained much but brought a big smile to his face.

“Yeah, you’re right. I can still read it just fine, and I’ll still know your name is on the shirt.” It seemed like it was more than just his ears that were sharp.

His attentive gaze didn’t help Dahlia relax much, but she acted as collected as she could and finished up the work. She took the shirt off of the embroidery hoop, made sure there were no stray needles hanging inside, then handed it to Volf. “Here you are. If this is to your liking, then I’ll do the same to the other five undershirts. You’ll know I got better at doing the letters if you see my name in a different color. I’ll make sure you get them before the season changes too.”

“This is perfect! Thank you—I really mean it, Dahlia. Is there anything—anything at all—I can get you to show my gratitude?” Volf clutched the single shirt to his chest as he looked intently at her.

Her wish was not for any physical good but for his well-being. Putting that into words was a little beyond her, however. “Then could I have some extra cream on my crepes today?”

“You got it. I’ll pile on all the cream and fruit you could want!”

As long as he returned to her so that the two of them could share a laugh like this, that was all she desired.
