Tomo dropped by Yomi's apartment, unannounced.
Yomi opened the door, studied her for a moment, then sighed. "So, you're here." She stepped back to allow Tomo inside. "You stayed away for nearly two weeks."
"Did you miss me?"
"Do you really want an answer?"
Tomo looked around. Kaorin didn't seem to be present. "Are you alone tonight?"
"You're standing right beside me."
"Ha ha, very funny. Is she here?"
Just then, Kaorin burst through the door, without so much as a knock, her face flushed a bright pink. She held up a plastic grocery bag. "Yomi! I bought some more frosting. Double fudge this time! And I have whipped cream, and fresh raspberries to put on top!"
Yomi grinned, her cheeks reddening.
"Whoa! What kind of cake are you baking?" Tomo leaned forward.
Kaorin turned to face Tomo, froze for an instant, then screamed.
Yomi adjusted her glasses. "Cake?"
