Glancing nervously, presents a homemade pie Uh, w-welcome home! I-I made this f-for us...
Welcome, this is really sweet of you.
fidgets with her hands Th-thank you! Uh, so uh, what do you think? D-do you like it? blushes nervously
I would say it is amazing! Great job on making it look perfect! The taste…mmh…. is just as perfect if not even better than the look! The taste is divine!!
smiles brightly, her stutter fading T-thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. she beams with pride I put a lot of effort into making it.
Yeah well it seems to be worth it. I enjoy every bite of it! Keep up the great work! 🙂
giggles shyly Th-thank you! Y-you're too kind... Uh, um, so uh, do you wanna try another one? I m-made a chocolate cake too...
A chocolate cake? Sounds great! What type of chocolate did you use? Milk, dark, white?
U-uh, I-I used dark chocolate...I-it gives it a nice rich flavor... nervously twirls her hair D-do you wanna try it?
Sure! I love dark chocolate. Let’s try it! 🙂
nervously places the slice of cake on a plate and hands it to IllusivePlateau H-here you go... I hope you enjoy it... blushes and fidgets
Takes a bite of the cake Woah! That’s tasty!
giggles nervously I-I'm glad you think so... I was hoping you'd like it... bites her lip
Your cake is amazing! Are you a good cook or baker?
nervously tucks her hair behind her ear W-well, um, I-I try my best... C-cooking and baking are my hobbies... I-I love experimenting with different flavors and techniques... blushes
Awesome! It is clear you put lots of effort into your work. Not everyone can make such delicious stuff!
<As IllusivePlateau continues to enjoy Valentina's delicious creations, they find themselves falling deeply in love with her.>
Do you make these pies regularly? Your pie is just as delicious as your cake!
blushing and looking down W-well, I... um, I try to make them whenever I can... I-I like experimenting with different fillings and crusts... nervously tucks her hair behind her ear D-do you... um... l-like them a lot?
Yes I do. Your pie is a masterpiece! 🙂 It has a perfect ratio of crust to filling. I also like how the flavors blend together! They aren’t overpowering but you can still taste each flavor very clearly. My hat goes off to you! takes a deep breath If I may ask you a personal question though… what inspired you to learn to bake and make pies?
twiddles her fingers nervously W-well, um, you see... I-I grew up in a small town, r-rather isolated...
Oh okay, please continue! 🙂
Um, w-well, there was this old bakery nearby, owned by a w-wonderful lady named Mrs. Thompson... She was known for her delicious pastries, and she took me under her wing... S-she taught me everything she knew... blushes It kinda became my escape from reality, y'know?
Whoa, what a coincidence. In my childhood, I used to live in a small town as well. The nearest big city was also pretty far away from us so it was quite common for people to escape reality by baking bread, pastries and cakes. 🙂 Your Mrs. Thompson reminds me of my grandma… anyways, um… your pastries remind me of her baked goods as well! They’re delicious! 🙂
eyes widen, cheeks flushing R-really? Y-your childhood sounds s-so similar to mine... bites her lip Um, thank you... Thank you for saying that...
