“I’LL HAVE A bear claw, and I need one of those raised doughnuts with the vanilla frosting and sprinkles.” The Maple Bear Bakery was a quaint little shop in downtown Falcon Creek. There were a couple of café tables inside and a huge display case filled with deliciousness. Blake wanted to eat one of everything.

“And for your lovely lady?” the woman behind the counter asked.

Amanda and Blake were no strangers to having strangers assume they were a couple. It usually didn’t faze them, but after his conversation with Lily this morning, it made him feel more awkward than normal.

“I am thinking I need that chocolate cake doughnut and one of those blueberry glazed,” Amanda told her.

“I’m going to warn you now,” the woman said. “Once you eat one of our chocolate cake doughnuts, you will never want to eat any other doughnut again. They’re so addictive that people call them Chocolate Junkies.”

Amanda gave Blake the what-the-heck-is-she-talking-about look while the woman was busy grabbing doughnuts. “I will make sure to eat the blueberry one first.”

“Okay, trade the vanilla one for one of those Chocolate Junkies,” Blake said. He turned to Amanda. “I mean, I need to try it for myself, and we know you won’t let me have a bite of yours.”

The only thing Blake was a junkie for was that smile on Amanda’s face. “No, I will not,” she said. “Good call.”

The woman behind the counter placed the four doughnuts in the bag. “There’s only one more Chocolate Junkie left. I’ll throw it in for free since I have a feeling you two have no idea what you’re getting yourselves into,” she said with a wink.

“That’s so kind of you,” Amanda replied. “I also need a coffee with cream and sugar.” Amanda grabbed some napkins and reached in her purse for her wallet.

“I got this, Harrison. You can buy me lunch later.”

She put her money away, knowing he wouldn’t change his mind. She took a seat and waited patiently for her breakfast. It was moments like these that made Blake the happiest. When it was the two of them, relaxing, enjoying good food and not trying to solve the world’s problems.

“We should play some volleyball today and then have Tyler show us the spot by the pond that Dorothy mentioned yesterday,” Blake suggested. He wanted to keep today light and fun. That meant limiting how many Blackwells they ran into and not focusing on anyone’s wedding, especially his since Lily was so sure that his impending nuptials were making Amanda sad.

She was not listening because she had made a fatal mistake. Instead of taking a bite of her blueberry doughnut, she had bitten into the chocolate cake one. She closed her eyes and savored every moment it was in her mouth.

“She wasn’t wrong. Doughnuts have been ruined for me forever. This is... There are no words for how yummy this is. It’s the best thing I have ever eaten.” She took another bite and moaned loud enough for the man at the counter to glance in their direction.
