Along the way, Jasmine Yale ran to the bakery in her little boots.
She brought Sweet Kitty with her.
"Sorry, I'm late," Jasmine apologized as soon as she entered.
"It's okay, my mom isn't here," Yukon Carbon said, looking very much like a boss, with his sleeves rolled up and a gentle expression on his face, "You can have coffee and desserts made by my own hands today."
Yukon pointed to the best spot in the shop, "I reserved it for you, knowing you would come."
Despite having sent her a text message, Jasmine would surely come, knowing her nature.
On the table was a freshly ground cup of Mandheling, its aroma filling the air, along with her favorite pastries.
Jasmine put down her backpack, made a heart shape with her hands towards Yukon, and winked, "Thank you, Boss Carbon."
"Is there a tip?"
A tip?
Jasmine set Sweet Kitty down beside him, "Here, can I lend her to you for a while, okay?"
"Meow!" Sweet Kitty looked at Jasmine with a sense of grievance.
