Bab 99: Clash of the titans (2)

"What pastries do you want?" Loren asked the women, sweetly, in his soft voice when they reached the dessert stall. 

The beautiful cakes and confectionaries were lined up elegantly, each a masterpiece. 

There were opera cakes, neatly layered, domes that were glazed to perfection with the daintiest decorations of tempered chocolate, tarts with meringue and the most mouthwatering short crust pastry shells...there was an endless choice!

She was clearly mesermized by the beautiful man who had so politely asked if he could bring his friends forward.
