Chapter 4

Phoenix’s soufflé turned out fantastic, or at least it looked great and he swore to me it tasted good. So I whipped up a hazelnut cream and a bourbon whipped cream to serve with it. When Izzy came down, Phoenix had gone home and I was ready for her approval on our signature dessert.

She tried a bite with a dab of both creams on it, and her eyes closed as the spoon went into her mouth. “Ohmygod.” She took a larger bite. “So good. Where has this been all of my life?”

“You really like it?”

She nodded enthusiastically. “We should serve it all the time.” That wasn’t practical, of course, but it was exactly what I wanted to hear. “When did you have time to do this? Didn’t you say Phoenix asked you out?”

That wasn’t at all what I had told her, but there was no point in arguing about it. I mentioned that I was supposed to go see him last night, but that it was in no way a date. “I did meet him at Xavier’s and then he showed me how to make a soufflé.”

“Please tell me that is a euphemism.” I laughed. She sighed and shook her head. “Mags, I know you like Boone and he’s hot and handy and super nice, but he’s not available. Phoenix, on the other hand, has made himself very, very available to you. That has to count for something. And he got us a liquor license, right? Did he manage to do it?”

I had forgotten all about asking him about that. Helping me out and spending time with him did count for something, but I wasn’t sure what or how it changed how I felt. “Boone and I are just friends.”

“You keep saying that, but I see the way you look when you talk about him. That’s not how you feel. He’s only going to hurt you,” Izzy said.

Boone wasn’t the type to ever purposefully hurt someone, but then again neither was Baker. Phoenix wouldn’t give me what I wanted either, though. What I needed was a mix between the two of them. I needed someone who made me laugh and who wanted me, like Phoenix, but also someone who was nice and helped others and who I could trust, like Boone. Someone should expand on that teddy bear place—create a Build-a-Boyfriend shop. “We should call the dessert Psyche Souffle.”

Izzy grinned as she moved to her cupcake decorating station. “I love it—and with all the Cupid decorations, it fits perfectly.”

Izzy had recently gone through a breakup. Facing Valentine’s Day couldn’t be easy for her. What would it take for Kyle to win her back? “If you had one of Cupid’s arrows and you could have scratched Kyle with it to make him fall madly in love with you, would you have?”

Izzy gave me a strange look. “I don’t know. I guess not? I mean that’s what I wanted. I wanted him to love me and want to marry me, but he didn’t feel the same way.
