Max nodded, waiting as Nancy deftly cut one of the muffins into pieces and handed him one on a small napkin.
Taking a bite, he could taste the fresh cream and blueberries that were almost magically combined inside the fluffy treat.
“Wow, I can see why these sell so well! Could I get a dozen of them?”
