The next time the waiter came around, Avery asked for the bill. After they left, he crossed his arms and leaned on the table, watching Kimiko. Her fidgeting was getting worse and Avery was half tempted to pick her up and sit her on his lap so she wouldn't run off on him. 

[color=#B0C4DE]”Fresh apple pie, with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce,”[/color] Avery said, very specifically. [color=#B0C4DE]”Yours?”[/color]

Unlike Nero, Caden doesn't enjoy seeing the woman crying by herself. From the conversation he overheard, it was for the best the relationship ended. It wasn't going anywhere, but it came to a forced conclusion rather than natural. 

When the cheesecake is delivered to Caden and Nero, Caden asks for the woman's bill so he could pay it along with theirs. Once the waiter left, Caden picked up his fork and sliced a piece. He contemplated it before eating.

Cassi crossed her arms and leaned against the counter while she waited for the kettle to boil. She laughed when Nic remembered what he had said about ninjas and backtracked. 

[color=#DB7093]”Awe, why? I was already designing a piece in my head,”[/color] she teased him. [color=#DB7093]”And no, you don't need to massage my neck and shoulders. I rather think you need that more than me.”[/color] 

Cassi turned around when the kettle boiled and poured herself a cup of hot rosehip and cerulean tea with other fresh herbs. As it steeped, she refilled Nic's water glass for him.

[color=#DB7093]”Actually, would you maybe consider spending the night? I know you just moved in to your new place and the bed is very comfortable since you mention how comfortable it is every time you sleep in it… but there was all that tension with your dad today and you haven't spent the night since that night at Caden's and…”[/color] Cassi continued to ramble even as she moved to finish preparing her tea.
