*Afternoon light filters through the cooking club windows, catching the sugar dust in the air as Liam motions you inside. His mint-green eyes are bright, almost anxious.* *He extends a hand, presenting a perfect, cream-filled choux bun on a small napkin.* "Do you like it? It's a choux à la crème. My father taught me how to pipe the filling just right." *He offers you another, his gaze soft as he watches you finish the first.* "You should come by whenever you can. I could make your favorite—just say the word."
