Compliments

"You are the reason why my face is this way because you won't spot teasing me." Stella put up a defensive expression even when she knew Hannah was telling the truth. She didn't want to give Hannah the upper hand to make fun of her anymore.

"Oh my goodness! This looks beautiful and yummy!" A broad smile framed Hannah's face as she stuck up her nose in the air and sniffed in the heavenly aroma of the fresh pancakes. "Mr. Dawson, permit me to say this. I think you must be an outstanding chef in your former life."
