Aaron took the chocolate from Annie’s hand. Instead of eating it, he simply stared at it.

“Did you buy this? Or was it Marcus?”

“Actually…Marcus bought it for me,” said Annie truthfully.

Aaron raised an eyebrow. “So he won you over with this cheap chocolate? He might as well not buy it. Only chocolates from master chocolatiers are good enough to eat!”

Annie’s eyes flickered. “I can do that, but…Marcus can’t! His family isn’t that rich, so he can’t be wasting money on frivolous stuff like chocolates!”
