Tatiana sat quietly beside Liam, her hands resting neatly on the now lighter basket as she watched him enjoy the cookies she had spent hours making. Every time he reached for another one, her heart fluttered a little. It was ridiculous. She had fought monsters, survived nightmares that still haunted her dreams, and endured things that would have broken most people. Yet watching one handsome idiot eat cookies she baked had reduced her into an anxious mess.
Liam finished chewing the one in his mouth before reaching into the basket again.
Tatiana unconsciously straightened in anticipation.
He liked them.
He genuinely liked them.
She couldn't stop the small smile tugging at her lips.
However, instead of popping the next cookie into his own mouth, Liam paused halfway.
Tatiana blinked.
"Hm?"
Then, before she could process what was happening, he turned toward her and held the cookie in front of her lips.
"Eat too."
Tatiana froze.
"…What?"
