Her breath hitched as she saw the package. For "Mr. Davies," not her. But the return address… it was from the famous chocolatier in Paris! She knew exactly what was inside: the exclusive truffle collection, a gift she’d dreamed of getting.

Her pulse quickened. She brought the package inside, practically floating. She placed it on the kitchen table and almost immediately tore it open. The aroma hit her first - rich, dark, and intoxicating.

She popped a truffle in her mouth. Her eyes widened, her every sense consumed with the delicious treat. This was perfection. This was bliss.
