Francine loved sweet stuff, and that was why Chester would always choose a place where they had good desserts for their dates.

After taking a few bites of her dessert, Francine suddenly let out a frustrated and melancholic sigh, prompting Chester to ask with concern, "Why the sigh? Something on your mind?"
