The dessert was every bit as delicious as the meal had been. Delia had tried crème brulee at a restaurant before and loved it but she didn't get to have it very often. And now she knew someone who knew how to make it!
Simon truly was a man of many mysteries. He had said that jokingly to her before but she was starting to believe it.
There were a lot of things about him that she didn't know but she wanted to know them all. She internally cursed herself for being stupid. She liked him, didn't she?
Delia hadn't wanted to have a crush on someone so obviously out of her league but he had worn her down with his constant cheerfulness and genuine interest in what she had to say. Since she had reached this point, she may as well see it through.
"Simon, do you want to come over to my place tomorrow?" she asked. "We could watch another movie and I'll try not to fall asleep on you this time."
He beamed at her. "I would love to. I can get us takeout."
