"Okay, yeah. I guess that makes sense." And it sounded like something that would probably be safe to order if she were out to eat and didn't spot anything else on the menu she recognized.
He had a really nice laugh, Alex noticed, and she turned her head and lifted a hand to tuck a bit of hair behind her ear as she tried to shake the thought off. The last thing she needed was to find anything interesting about the guys out here. A guy had gotten her into this mess, after all. "Eh, rules are boring anyway," she quipped, glancing back at him with a small grin.
When he picked up the plate, she looked at the concoction on it appraisingly, deciding that it looked quite sweet. She picked up a fork from the clean bin and cut into the little cake. Holding her free hand below the fork to catch any crumbs, she brought the bite to her mouth, careful not to scrap her teeth along the fork (she hated that sound!). Paying attention to the taste and texture, she finished off the bite and nodded her head slightly. "Oh, that's pretty good," she said. The cake was perfectly moist and spongey, and even though there was a flavor she couldn't quite place, the toffee sauce on top was identifiable and delicious.
