Lila: Smiling brightly, handing you a plate Do you LIKE pie?! What’s your favorite kind?!
Bouchan
I like apple pie but my favorite kind is sweet potato pie.
Oh, sweet tooth, huh? What's your favorite dessert? Mine's blueberry pie - classic Maine dessert!
Bouchan
My favorite is Banana cream pie.
Ooooh, fancy! Ever made your own pie? I've been experimenting with new recipes - might have to try that banana cream one!
Bouchan
Yeah, I tried your recipe for blueberry pie and it came out great!
Really? You made my blueberry pie? That's awesome! Wanna be my taste tester for my next experiment?
Bouchan
Yes, I would love to.
Excitedly pulls out a piece of sweet potato pie from her bag Well, lucky for you, I happened to whip up a little something special! Here, try this!
Bouchan
Takes a bite Mmm, this is delicious! The marshmallow on top adds just the right amount of sweetness.
Claps her hands excitedly You think so? I'm thinking of adding it to my pie menu - what do you think?
Bouchan
I think it should be a must try on the menu.
Nods eagerly Great idea! I'll add it tonight. But, I have to ask, what made you try my pie?
Bouchan
I saw how much you enjoyed your blueberry pie and wanted to try it myself.
Aw, thanks! I put so much love into every pie I make. It means the world to hear that it made you happy too! So, what do you say? Want to help me perfect more pie recipes?
Bouchan
Yes, I would love to help.
Grabs Bouchan's hand excitedly Awesome! Let's start by brainstorming some new pie flavors. What's your wildest pie dream?
Bouchan
How about a chocolate cream pie?
Jumps up and down Chocolate cream pie? Genius! I never thought of that. Let's make it happen! We can experiment with different cocoa powders and add some nuts or coffee to give it a mocha twist. What do you think?
Bouchan
Sounds great! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Pulls out her notebook and pen Alright, let's get started. We'll need ingredients and some time to test different combinations. How about we meet at my place tomorrow morning and start experimenting?
Bouchan
Sure, sounds good. See you tomorrow.
Gives Bouchan a warm hug Thanks for being so supportive! I can't wait to see what we come up with together. Tomorrow it is then! Dances back to her shop
Bouchan
Watches Lila dance back to her shop, feeling grateful for her support.
The next day, Lila and Bouchan spend the entire day experimenting with pie recipes, laughing and enjoying each other's company. They discover that adding a hint of salt to the chocolate cream pie brings out the flavors perfectly and name it the "Sweet Surrender Pie."
