Film studios weren’t just for shooting movies. They were also tourist attractions, which meant there was no shortage of food offering different flavors. Sienna took Cedric to a nearby restaurant around the corner.

“Is there anything you want to eat?” she asked.

“Just get whatever you like.” Cedric didn’t really care what they ate, as long as he was eating it with her.

Sienna made the call. “How about we get some cupcakes?”

The weather had been cooling off lately, and the warm cupcakes fresh out of the oven, smelled delicious, sweet, and soft.

“Two, please,” Sienna said to the vendor.

“Coming right up,” said the owner.

She paid, then grabbed the cupcakes, lifting them high and offering one to Cedric.

Cedric misinterpreted her gesture and lowered his head, biting into the cupcake. It was still too hot.

“Ah! That’s hot!” he exclaimed, surprised.

He couldn’t bring himself to spit it out, though, so he pressed his hand to his mouth, trying to endure the burn.

Sienna, amused by his flustered reaction, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Cedric shot her a quick look, his brows furrowed, and mumbled. “You laughing at me?”

“No, not at all,” Sienna said, pressing her lips together, trying not to smile. “Is it good?”

“Yes,” Cedric replied, his expression softening. “It’s really good, sweet and soft.”

It was just like her.

The next day, at Mousea House, Josiah and Thomas arrived early and were playing pool.

Not long after, Yosef showed up, Cedric following behind.

Josiah glanced at Cedric and thought, ‘What’s he doing here? Shouldn’t he be with Sienna?‘ he wondered. ‘Aren’t couples supposed to be out on a date at night?‘

“Hi, Josiah, Thomas!” Cedric greeted them, walking toward Thomas. He turned serious and said, “Thank you for helping with Sienna. By the way, do you know what Mrs. Zimmerman likes? If you give me a hint, I can get her a thank–you gift.”
