He snickered before walking over to tidy my clothes up, pretending as if nothing had happened. He then solemnly promised, "Right then, I'll remind you loudly next time. We were recognized. It's not an eye- opening experience for you..."

"You!" My face flushed red with anger. Remind me loudly? That was clearly a public execution!

"Alright, let's go." Hendrix fixed his belt and held onto my face to kiss me on my forehead. With that, he led me to the stairs and said, "If we're any later, we won't even be able to leave through the back door." All I could do at the moment was to suppress my anger and follow him out of the building.

A long while later I would remember how the candied haws I had that night was the best I ever had, and that all other candied haws eaten after that never quite matched up to it. In the end, I discovered what conquered the taste buds were more than just the food itself. It included the state of mind and the environment at the present moment.

"Isn't that what you do!" I remained defiant with my mouth stuffed.
