Sasha stared back at him, her face as white as a sheet.

“I’m not stealing anything, Uncle Roderick! Matteo said you guys make amazing desserts, so he wanted me to try some of it. That’s why he brought me some. I can give it back to you if you want…” Sasha said weakly as she retrieved the glass bottle that Matteo had given her earlier.

Roderick stared blankly at it for a moment, and whatever suspicions he had disappeared in that instant.
