The first slice

While Nate comforted Lara and waited for her to stop crying, rubbing her back and enjoying the hug, the twins moved their attention from their parents to the cake.

They had insisted with their grandma to bake a cake with a lot of chocolate, even if their mommy liked oranges. Nate had ordered something very fruity, but they had used their charms on their grandma until she had finally surrendered.

«It's zah-ka,» Scarlet remembered. That's what grandma called the cake.

«No, grandma said zah-ke,» Jaden pointed out. «And she also said tart.»

«Zahka tart? But it's a cake!»

«I don't know, Scarlet...»

«There's so much chocolate on top,» she commented, licking her lips.
