Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 0088

“What is this?” she asked me as we got out of the car and she looked around at our surroundings.

“This is a real working chocolate farm. Hawaii is the only state in the United States that grows chocolate trees, or at least that is what their website claims. The chocolate here has won awards around the world, including even in Paris and Brussels. I thought we could do a tour of the farm while the daylight is still out, and then we can go inside and learn how to make chocolate ourselves. At the end, the owner has agreed to put together a private dinner for us on the balcony overlooking the farm, complete with chocolate raspberry cake.”

The smile on Lily’s face told me that all the strings I had pulled to put this together at the last minute were worth it. “Chocolate raspberry cake? You remembered?”

I smiled. “How could I not? It is my favorite too. Every time your mother would make her famous chocolate raspberry cake, I would find an excuse to eat dinner in the beta suite with your family.”

Lily thought for a moment. “Do you remember that time when I was around 12… my mother made the cake, but I had a school project to do first, and by the time I was done all the cake was gone? You shared your piece with me…”

I could tell Lily was a little hesitant to bring up the memory, so I decided to finish it for her. “Yes, I remember. Your project was on how humans and werewolves heal and get sick differently. You were excited to show off your project to your dad, and you had created these bizarre drawings to go with it.

You were really disappointed that the cake was gone before you were done with the project. I offered to share my piece of the cake with you, and you ended up eating almost all of it.”

Lily smiled, so I kept going.

“I want you to know that letting you eat my cake was no small sacrifice by me, typically no one gets between me and chocolate. Well, no one but you. I have never shared chocolate anything with anyone else.”

Lily smiled even bigger. “I can’t believe you remember that day. I also can’t believe you thought those

drawings were bizarre. They were of a human and a werewolf.”
