Asher called Cassidy as he made his way to the kitchen of the diner.
Thrown into panic, she turned off the oven in a haste and rushed to the entrance. She then stood there and stretched her hand out, preventing him from stepping inside.
"Cassie, what's that smell? It smells so good! What are you making at this hour? Are they cookies?"
She only smiled at him nervously, not moving from her spot. He was supposed to be busy with his own restaurant around this time. But as soon as evening fell, he decided to hang around there and pay an unannounced visit.
Whether Asher is there or not, though, Cassidy is planning to go to Adrian no matter what.
"Yeah, they're cookies. But you can't have any..." she lied, still not prepared to disclose her intention to settle things with her husband.
"It's for the children at the orphanage."
"Oh, really...?" he blurted out while closing his eyes and sniffing the mouth-watering aroma.
