Ruediger closed his eyes, trying to calm the turbulent waves within him. Seeing Lariette taste the filling made him wonder how sweet it was if he could kiss her now.
The desires often took over his heart but, he knew he had to stop.
Unaware of what was on Ruediger’s mind, Lariette savored the flavor of the blueberry walnut filling. Her eyelashes fluttered the moment the mixture hit her tongue.
The sweet and tart blueberries, the warmth of cinnamon, the hint of lemon and the crunch of the toasted walnuts seamlessly harmonized with each other.

Swallowing the filling, Lariette pressed her lips together. She still savored the lingering taste.
"Eddy, it’s so delicious! It’s... are you okay?"
Lariette had just looked up at Ruediger, only to see his face suddenly tensed up. A faint redness also was cast on his cheeks.
"Nothing. It’s quite hot today," Ruediger hurriedly shook his head. His crimson fringes swayed over his forehead. He quickly asked, "Anyway, do you like it? The taste is good?"
"Yes," Lariette nodded, her face beaming, "I can’t wait to try the pie soon."
