Chapter 336:
“I want to order a small cake. I’ll pick it up before closing p>
Her brow wrinkled. “Whose birthday is it p>
“No one’s.” I cleared my throat. “I’m cooking dinner for Ashton tonight.” I had left Carmen a note this morning to set out the ingredients.
I had planned the menu over breakfast.
Nothing complicated, but I was going to make it myself.
The cake was for dessert.
Yvaine narrowed her eyes. “You eat with him all the time. What’s the special occasion p>
I couldn’t stop grinning. It felt too wide. “I’m telling him. That I want us to be official. About my… feelings p>
She shot upright so fast the stool skidded. “You’re finally doing it! Good. Say it, serve the cake, drag him to bed—boom, perfect night p>
“Keep your voice down,” I hissed, yanking her sleeve. “There’s literally a child two feet away p>
She cackled and dropped back onto the stool. “Sorry. I’m just happy for you. Leave the cake to me p>
“Something simple’s fine,” I said, then paused. “Oh, by the way. That boyfriend of yours. Cade Lawson? I saw his face on a promo banner. He’s doing some kind of reality show p>
“Yeah.” Yvaine nodded. “He passed the audition. No clue when filming starts, though. Probably after the holidays p>
“You sure about this? He’s already got a fanbase. I’ve seen them fight people online like it’s blood sport. And don’t those shows ban contestants from dating?” I’d seen a clip of Cade a few nights ago.
If he actually had talent to match that face, the show would blow him up in minutes.

If the fans or the show’s organizers found out he had a girlfriend, they’d eat him alive.
Yvaine patted my arm. “Relax. I’m not that deep in. It’s fun, that’s all. If he gets picked for the show, we might be done by then anyway p>
Her mouth said one thing, but her voice softened every time she mentioned his name.
She couldn’t stop smiling.
I folded my arms. “Did he use your connections? I remember your family owns a media company p>
“No. He didn’t ask for anything. Told me about the audition after he made it through. I swear, Mira, if he even tried to scam me for money or resources, I’d kneecap him. He sings at Club Roxy. He got in because he’s good p>
“Fine. Just don’t let him screw you over p>
