A New Norm (Ch.197)

"Lydia? You needed me?" Neveah asked as she got to the kitchen where Lydia did all her baking.

"Oh, Veah. Come on in." Lydia beckoned on Neveah with a bright smile.

The smell of the freshly baked pastries had long already reached Neveah but arriving so close to it, a small smile settled on her lips.

"This smells heavenly." Neveah said truthfully.

"I sure do hope it tastes as good, I've been trying out this new recipe I came up with, you see." Lydia said as she picked up a star shaped pastry and handed it to Neveah.

"Oh... I get to do the tasting, I see..." Neveah hummed with a grin as she accepted the pastry.

"What can I do? Your taste buds are shockingly accurate...you can pick out practically any flaw." Lydia defended with a pout.

"Spending all your life being wary of what you eat does that to you." Neveah replied unconsciously as she took a bite.

Neveah chewed on it slowly, savoring the taste.
