MARCUS !
Her compliment catches him by surprise, startling a laugh out of him and prompting him to slide the pads of his fingers over the stubbled line of his jaw. Itâs taken him a long time to be comfortable with his appearance, and even just a few years back, he mightâve refuted the flattery. But heâll gladly take it to heart now.
âThanks. I donât think anyoneâs ever phrased it quite like that,â he chuckles, shaking his head in amusement. âNot even Dani. Besides⊠Me? Yummier than even just one lemon bar? Impossible. Lemon bars are like edible sunshine.â
âYouâve got somethingââ He points at his own cheeksâroughly mapping the messy areaâbefore turning to grab and dampen a towel at the sink. âHere. Let me help.â
Itâs an innocent gesture; one he doesnât think twice about as he gently wipes the sugar dusting her skin away.
âWhen Dani said you were sweet, she probably didnât mean covered in powdered sugar.â
              and this is the moment where her heart stops all-together in side of her chest, fleur letting out the softest of gasps, and then another gentle whimper as digits move quickly to cover the growing blush on her face.  âoh! iâm ------ does she . . . dani talk about me often?â sheâs quick to change the subject, but something has shifted within the flower, and itâs shown in the subtle way her gaze lingers on him for a bit longer than before, how sheâs stepped closer to him, as if heâs pulled her to him and she doesnât quite know how to move away. thereâs a nervous giggle as she watches, waits, hands tucking quickly  into the pockets of her cardigan. and then she canât help the slight frown that tugs at the corners of her mouth as she adds, âshe talks about you. a lot.â
