“I did!” Alice snatched the pastry bag and tossed it on the ground “Be you told me nor to be so picky, so I pretended I liked it.” In her past life, she hadn’t dared to express her preferences for fear of upsetting her brothers. They’d never cared about her likes and dislikes Alice left in the taxi. The past hurt ran deeper than a simple apology could erase. Noah was left reeling,
