"Why do you I smell a conspiracy? I am sure, a lurker ratted me out."
Alice laughed again and replied, "Well, the lurker asked me to drag you out of the kitchen. Come over, we gotta talk."
He removed the apron and placed it on the counter. "Just a minute"
The oven dinged at the same time and he raised a hand before rushing back inside. Alice watched him take out the tray of cookies from the oven and place it on the countertop to cool down, take a small bite of the cookie and relish in the taste.
He happened to look at her at the same time and she quickly looked away. Jake felt a little amused as he walked out taking the freshly baked cookies on a dish and came near her, with his hand extending the dish to her.
"Here, give it a try"
Alice smiled and took a bite. It was indeed soft and tasty, but the image of him savoring the taste was printed on the back of her eyes. She almost choked on the recent memory.
