Lane lay on the couch, casting sidelong glances at the box of homemade sweets standing on the table.

Sent by Damien, of course. Delivered to the office, with an apology note.

He hadn't touched them. Well, not yet. He was going to, of course - his frustration with Damien was one thing, but he couldn't let perfectly good treats go to waste. It's not like Damien would know whether Lane would eat them or not.

He just couldn't bring himself to enjoy them yet, that's all. For some reason, whenever he reached for one, he felt a sour taste in his mouth. And it'd be a shame if that sourness were to affect his sense of taste as he ate them.

Eventually though, the sourness within him was too much to take. He jumped right off the couch, grabbed one of the pastries, and bit into it.

It was sweet. Very sweet. Soft and fluffy, dusted with powdered sugar, and filled with strawberry cream. Exactly his taste.
