Abigail pinched herself secretly to confirm she wasn’t dreaming.

Jacob held a plate with two pieces of dessert. He wore a gentle smile as he handed it to her.

“I wasn’t sure which one you’d like, so I brought both,” he said softly. “I’ve checked this one. It’s low in sugar and won’t make you gain weight. It’s okay to have a little.”

“T-Thank you for just now,” Abigail’s voice was barely audible.

“It’s fine, just doing what I can. I hope it doesn’t cause you more problems.”
