“HOW DO I Look?” Anthony asks. He’d slipped into a public restroom and put on the Hulk T-shirt.

Good enough to eat. Natalie lets her eyes linger over his lean muscled torso. Even the shirt looks happy to be worn by him.

Never thought I’d envy a T-shirt.

“The shirt looks fantastic,” she says. “It’s a pity you’re so darn unattractive though.”

Anthony smirks, but doesn’t say anything.

Natalie reluctantly hands him back his motorcycle jacket. She was holding it for him while he went and changed and has been drowning in its delicious Anthony scent. At one point, she even held it up and stuck her face inside. Luckily, he was still changing and didn’t see her.

“How is it a woman who bakes such sweet things for a living never has anything sweet to say?”

Natalie shrugs with a helpless smile. “It’s just my way.”

He puts his jacket on while she holds the sales bag with his Star Wars T-shirt inside.

“Not that you deserve it, but I decided to get you a gift, too. I bought it when you were in the restroom earlier.”

Natalie looks up in surprise. “Really? You bought me something?”

“Yes, even though you’re cruel to me.”

“I . . .” She fumbles around for some kind of response. “What is it?”

“You’ll see, but you have to stand still and close your eyes.”

She does as he asks. There’s a rustling noise and then she senses Anthony standing directly in front of her. His hands gently tuck her hair behind her ears and then something slides in place, resting on her cheeks and nose.

“All right,” he says. “You can open them now.”

The world is shaded. Her hands reach up to touch the sunglasses on her face.

“Very nice.” He nods with approval as he takes her in. “I bought you some aviators. Now we can both look like the famous Moondoggie.”

Natalie squeals with delight. “You did? I have to see them!”

They head over to the nearest shop so she can examine her reflection in the glass. After checking herself out for a few seconds, she can’t help herself, she squeals again. “I love them!”

“Now you look just like the badass you are, Miss Natalie. Though, you might want to cut back on all that screaming.”

“Thank you,” she tells him. Suddenly, she feels shy. Natalie can’t remember the last time a man bought her a gift when it wasn’t her birthday. It feels like years—eons. There’s an ache in her chest and a deep longing she doesn’t want to examine too closely.

They’re both still looking at their reflections in the window when she gets on her tiptoes and kisses him on the cheek.

Anthony turns his face toward hers and slowly shakes his head. “No,” he says and points to his lips, “baciami qui.”

Her heart flutters as she puts her hands on his cheeks. They feel scratchy under her fingers. Then she draws him toward her and kisses his mouth.

Afterward, he pulls his own aviators out from inside his jacket and puts them on too. “What do you say? Let’s both be badasses.
