"Chloe, um..."
"Lulu, I whipped up some mango pancakes. Give them a taste!"
Chloe cut off Lucy, presenting the mango pancakes she had made.
"You made these?"
Lucy had always been keen to learn baking, but she just could not get the hang of it. She could cook up a storm, but desserts were like a foreign language to her.
Chloe acted as if it was no big deal. "Of course! I learned from a dessert chef. If I couldn't make these, I'd be pretty lame, right?"
"And you still find time to learn this with your busy job? I never have the time."
Chloe passed a dainty spoon to Lucy. "You know, I've been thinking about quitting my job. Being a dessert chef is my dream."
Lucy eagerly scooped up a bite of the mango pancake. It was soft, bursting with mango flavor. It was sweet and fragrant but not too rich.
Lucy remembered the fancy desserts she had tried at a Charleston party. Chloe's mango pancakes were just as good as those desserts made by top pastry chefs.
In no time at all, Lucy had polished off more than half of the mango pancakes.
"Chloe, these mango pancakes are as good as the ones those fancy pastry chefs make. They're super yummy," Lucy said with a smile.
"Really?" Chloe's eyes sparkled. "No one has ever really appreciated my desserts before. You're the first to tell me what you think."
