"Nonsense. We made an agreement and I'll pick you up as your boyfriend." Loriel smiled at her. "Then I'll take you to Chef Lucy for your baking lessons."
It was actually a good idea since Loriel never met the chef yet. He had been wondering how Chef Lucy taught Elise baking.
"Ah, if that's what you want to do, thank you," Elise said. She didn't want to argue with him about it and it didn't actually interfere with her idea to surprise him with fruit cake.
If anything, Elise was happy about him promising to pick her up.
