“My God, that was amazing. Everything was amazing,” Rachel lauded as they sat at the table left of the entrance nearest the display counter. Placed before them were sampling plates of everything Terrance made.

He made eye contact with Isabel, who returned his stare expressionless. He noticed that she wore, seemingly, no makeup. Her beauty as natural as nature. “What do you think?” He asked her, aware that she'd eaten seventy-five percent of each sampling.

“It was good,” she nodded. “Really good.”

A family of four customers entered the bakery. Looking like the Oswald’s as they greeted everyone and approached the counter to look up at the menu. Isabel rose to meet them around the register.

“Hey,” Terrance spoke up, “would you all like some free samples?”

“Sure,” the father shrugged, leading the family to the side display counter on which Terrance dishes sat.

“Wow!” The father exclaimed, chewing on a pumpkin-spice filled donut. “May I?” He asked, reaching for a creamy spinach turnover.

TW nodded his assent, watching as the kids and wife enjoyed his samples as well.

Rachel smiled and made eye contact with Isa before she broke off to examine a vase of roses she hadn't noticed a moment before at the end of the counter. The attached card read: To Isabel Gonzalez, Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl.

“Are these items on the menu?” The wife asked.

“Um, not yet,” Terrance said before being cut off with- “But they will be,” as Rachel chimed in. “Right?” She looked up at TW expectantly.

He peered at Isabel who surprisingly gave him a light smile which swayed him to give his assent.

“How early can you be up tomorrow so we can go over the details and your ideas?” Rach asked

“About 2:30 a.m.” Terrance joked.

“Okaaay,” Rachel grinned, “How about seven?”

“ No doubt.”

“Bye, Terrance,” Isabel spoke up. “No more flowers, please.”
