“That’s the plan.” I shuffle my feet.
“Well, I haven’t tasted your cooking yet, but from what Lucy tells me, you’re pretty fantastic.” The mention of Lulu irritates me but I quickly push it down.
“Well, if you’re wanting to catch Ned, you should probably go. He’s usually not here past four.”
I glance up at the clock to see that it’s ten till, which means in ten minutes I’ve completed my time. Though, I doubt I got done as much as they were hoping I would. What can I say, I’m easily distracted. Especially when someone like Alec stops by.
“Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll see you later?” He hesitates in the doorway.
“Yeah.” I nod, watching him turn before grabbing another couple of tapes and stuffing them into the box.
“By the way,” I glance back up at him, “I’m still waiting on those macarons you promised me.”
“I didn’t forget.” I giggle. “I’m actually working at the bakery tonight. Maybe I’ll have time to throw you together a batch. I meant to bring you some last week but time got away from me.”
“Now don’t tease me. You’ve really talked these up. Plus, I’m pretty curious to see if you’re as good as Lucy says.”
“I’m better.”
“Is that so?” He chuckles.
“Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.”
“Guess so.” He knocks the doorframe with his knuckles. “See you later, Hope.”
“Yeah, see you later.” I tip my chin, watching him disappear from the doorway moments later.
