Shit. “Wait, before you go—.” He could make her feel better, his mind racing. “Could you do me a favor?

Take these caps and run to the bakery and get some snacks? I’ll trust you to get whatever is good, yeah?”

"Oh, sure!" she held her hands out for the caps, and then turned around to head off to the bakery. About 10 minutes later, she returned with a glazed, a chocolate, and a jelly donut, an eclair, and a water bottle, then came and offered him his pick.

"That was very nice of you, Mr. Hawthorne."

“Those are for you.” He could be nice. See? “Just don’t tell Percy I let you have a bunch of junk food, okay?”

He gave her an impish smile and a finger to his lips. He could pretend to be okay for the kid’s sake.

"Oh," surprise shone in her eyes and she turned around, smiling as she walked back to the inn and her room to eat the confections in silence. In her mind, Mr. Hawthorne was now a kind man who gave her treats.
