Chapter 45 SPENDING TIME TOGETHER

Andrew's smile is so rare that I quietly forget what he’s talking about as I keep watching his face, mesmerized.

“Tessy?” He snaps his fingers in front of my face and breaks my trance immediately, “Hmm..” I respond absentmindedly.

“You bake the tiramisu cake?” He asks excitedly, his gaze on the cake and then on me shining bright with excitement. I nod my head, smiling.

“It’s my favorite, my mother used to bake it often for me.” He reveals and then pauses suddenly the shine leaving his eyes and he looks sad and uneasy.

I know he must be thinking about his mother, “Uhmm… I don’t know if this tastes better than hers..” I say to distract him and again his lively smile comes back, “We need to see that… But why you didn’t bake it yesterday?” He asks, thinking, and then suddenly narrows his eyes.

Oh no, seems like he has seen through me…

“Actually, I…” I begin nervously but he just waves his hand, stopping me from uttering any more words.
