Her mother shook hands with Alexander, a twinkle in her eye. "Ah, the surprise master. Victoria has mentioned your knack for creating magical moments."
Alexander grinned, "I try my best. But the real magic is in these lemon bars, I hear."
They all settled on the blanket, sharing stories and laughter under the moonlit sky. As they enjoyed the lemon bars, Victoria's mother couldn't resist teasing them.
"Victoria, darling, did I interrupt a romantic moment earlier? I hope I'm not cramping your style."
Victoria blushed, shooting a playful glare at Alexander. "Well, Mom, you did have impeccable timing. But no harm done."
Her mother chuckled, "Good to know. I'm just keeping an eye on my daughter. Now, tell me more about this surprise-filled day."
