Rachel turned over the sign on the bakery door to let her customers know it was open for the day. She’d spent most of the morning making flower-shaped cookies and daydreaming about Levi. As she frosted the last batch of cookies with the variety of pastel-colored frosting, she heard the jingling of the bell on the front door. She poked her head around the side of the kitchen, surprised to see Levi entering the bakery. Her heart fluttered until she caught the expression on his face. He looked distraught; perhaps he’d received bad news from back home. She hoped whatever it was wouldn’t lead him away from the community so soon. Not when she had only begun to get to know him.

She came around the side of the kitchen, towel in hand, as she tried to wipe frosting from her fingertips. “Gudemariye, Levi. What brings you here?”

He looked at her cheerful face and her beautiful, smiling green eyes. That was all he needed to bring his spirit up.

“I missed my breakfast this morning since I drove into town early. I was hoping you might have some fresh biscuits and honey. I’m starving.”

Rachel giggled. “I hardly think you’re starving, but I’d be happy to get you something. Would you like kaffi?”

“Jah, danki.” Levi felt awkward using the words he’d learned from the Schrock’s, but he already felt like his world was falling apart. He didn’t need to add losing Rachel too. He had to keep her suspicion of him to a minimum.

Rachel motioned for him to sit at one of the small tables along the windows while she went into the kitchen to get the items for a small breakfast for Levi. As she poured his kaffi, she wondered what it would be like to serve him breakfast every morning as his fraa someday. Her cheeks heated. She tried to look down, but Levi had already noticed.

He smiled. “I could get used to this.”

His comment took her by surprise, causing her cheeks to burn with embarrassment. He took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. A shy giggle escaped her lips, but she quickly straightened and leveled her expression.

Rachel cleared her throat. “I don’t have any biscuits, but I have banana nut muffins. Would you like one?”

Levi shook his head while he sipped the hot beverage. He let her hand slip from his grasp, but she allowed it to linger there. He cupped his fingers around hers again and asked her to sit with him. At her touch, his worries suddenly seemed to slip away.
