I was going for a simple croque monsieurserved with a side of soup and a chopped salad for lunch. Just a fancified sandwich really, but I was putting my money on the crème br?léeI had put together for dessert.

“Eww.” Anise wrinkled her nose.

“I know. I don’t even like guys. And I don’t exactly make a secret of it.”

“Me neither.”
