Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Any idea where I can get all this?” Viv asked Tandri. “Not immediately, no. I’m sure I can find a baker, but…” Thimble interrupted by pulling on Viv’s sleeve and pointing to himself. “I show.” “Oh. Sure. Well, no time like the present, I guess. Tandri, you’re fine with holding things down ’til we get back?” “Of course.” The rattkin shifted from foot to foot and stared longingly at the coffee machine. “Coffee first?” he pleaded.
Thimble appeared before they opened the doors, another list clutched in his paws. It wasn’t particularly long. “Currants, walnuts, oranges … cardamom?” Viv asked, with a puzzled expression. Thimble nodded ardently. “I don’t even know what that last one is. And the rolls are already perfect!” The rattkin wrung his hands and looked aggrieved. “Trust,” he whispered.

Honestly, Viv doubted you could eat very much of it. That bitterness would overwhelm you. But the old spice-seller was right. The kid was a genius, and she couldn’t wait to see what he had planned. Tandri thoughtfully rolled the taste around in her mouth. “Okay, I’ll ask again, because I have to know. What is this?” He leaned forward, whiskers aquiver. “Chocolate.”
“I was just thinking that you don’t have to forget who you were … because that’s what brought you here.”
WHAT FLAMES COULD NOT CONSUME, NEVER SHALL BE EXTINGUISHED When they opened the doors, there was already a line down the street, despite the cold.
“So. I might not deserve you. And you might forgive too much. But I’m damned glad to have you.”
