Chapter 28 She Really Wants The Donuts

“Alright, then.” Hadley finally made up her mind. “Let me think for a moment.”

She pondered what to request as a thank–you gift.

“How about this?” she proposed confidently, “Treat me to the donuts from Grandma’s Kitchen.”

“What?”

Eric, surprised, thought he might have misunderstood her.

He looked at her quizzically. “Are you sure?”

Did she really just ask for donuts when she could obviously have asked for more?

Grandma’s Kitchen was a cherished, quaint bakery in Srixby, famous for its small batches of morning treats. They baked only a few each day, and once they were gone, patrons had to wait until the following morning.

The scarcity of these treats made them quite expensive.

Hadley had been away for four years and had missed these delicacies.

Even now that she was back in Srixby, she couldn’t afford them by herself.

Her choice of thank–you gift was heartfelt.

She nodded affirmatively. “Yes, I’m positive.”

Eric chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Make sure you’re certain. There are no second chances.”

Hadley could have requested anything–a sum of money, a car, or more–but she had chosen donuts.

“I’ve considered it well.”

Still, she didn’t waver, only specifying further. “I want the Paczki.”

“Alright then.” Eric agreed with a nod.

He had offered her a choice, and she had firmly made hers. He felt no obligation to offer more.

“Tomorrow morning, once Grandma’s condition is stable, I’ll take you to get some.”

“Deal.”

The next day, Nyla’s health had improved.

The doctor visited early to check on her and confirmed her well–being.
