A Sweet Valentine's Day

My friend Grace has finally returned from Paris! She invited me to the grand opening of her Petite Patisserie on Valentine's Day.

"I've missed you," I said, giving her a hug, "and your baking!"

"I've missed you, too." She smiled. "Let me show you everything!"

The pastry cart was totally amazing. And the treats! Grace has always had serious baking skills, but this time she really outdid herself. I could feel my stomach growling as I admired one delicious item after another.

"I'm so glad you're here," Grace told me. "You're my first customer!"

"What about me?" Lana was manning the treat buffet table next to Grace's cart. It overflowed with extra goodies Grace had whipped up for the big day. 

"Free samples don't count," Grace laughed.

"Looks like more customers are on the way," Lana answered. "I don't have time to eat my slice of red velvet cake before they get here!"

"I'm so glad you could both make it!" My friends Cecile and Lane arrived, along with Cecile's dog Henri.

"We wouldn't have missed it for anything!" Cecile even brought flowers for Grace. All in all, it was a super sweet Valentine's Day. 

Love,

Vivienne
