"Oh...um..." Lily blushed. "It's hard to describe...I guess to put it simply...this timer has a different sound for each minute, and it goes up to an hour...but there are only slight differences, so most people can't hear it. I guess my hearing has just gotten really good after all these years of baking," she said, smiling crookedly.

Noah still looked just as confused and surprised as before. "Well then, what to do in three minutes?"

Lily smiled. "One minute now. Want anything else? I can make you a fresh cup of coffee, if you want?" she offered, wondering how much money she was losing by giving him free stuff, yet hardly caring.

Blood Danish? he thought. That sounds really good, but would it be impolite to ask? Noah put his hand in his pocket, and without Lily seeing it, he drew out a 20. he walked over behind the counter and put the 20 dollars under the Danish. He then turned around and said, "Sure, one of those Blood Danishes sounds pretty good."

Lily smiled. "Sure thing. Coming right up. Just give me a minute to get some more mufifns in the oven," she said, pulling out the first tray of perfectly plump and delicious smelling muffins and setting them on the counter. She pulled out another tray and poured the batter in, popping them in the oven and setting the timer for ten minutes. With that, she turned and walked back to her cake dish, opening it and taking out a blood danish with her tongs. She put it on a plate and stuck that in the microwave for a few seconds. When it came out, she handed it to Noah. "And there you go," she said, smiling. She hadn't even noticed the twenty dollar bill.

Disappointed that his plan hadn't worked, he quickly thought of another way. "Hey Lily, could you also get the one that was right under that one for me?"

Lily raised an eyebrow, smiling. "Ohkay..." she said, turning back around. The second her eyes fell on the cake dish, she froze in place. A twenty dollar bill? But all she'd given him was a coffee and a danish...that would've been less than ten dollars...maybe six, at the most. "Umm..." she said, dumbfounded, trying to decide whether she should be insulted or happy.

Noah smiled. "Well I thought it was worth that. Oh yeah, I don't need change either." He laughed to himself. "The rest is for the tip."

"Umm..." Lily repeated. "Thank you," she said finally. "I'm guessing you didn't actually want the danish," she confirmed, turning back to lean against the counter and stare at the oven. Why was it that all vampires seemed eager to give her money she didn't deserve? She let out a small sigh. Stupid vampires.

Noah walked over to her, "No not really I guess, I was just trying to get you to notice the money. I have this one here. So, do you have anything planned after work? I worked on some cool chord changes on guitar if you have any lyrics, we can try it out."

Lily took the muffins out of the oven and arranged all of them neatly on a tray. She placed them in another cake tin, right beside the danishes, and set about cleaning up. "I have lyrics, yes..." she said, as though that were an answer. In a matter of moments, she had all the dirty dishes and pans in the dishwasher, the cleaning cycle already starting. With that, she untied the back of her apron and pulled it over her head. Underneath, she wore a pair of jeans with tears in the knees and a tank top that she'd obviously stitched new sleeves onto. She tucked the bottom part of her apron into the pockets and hung it on the coat rack in her kitchen, retrieving her jacket from the hook beside it, and her keys from beside that. "Come on, I have to get home," she said finally, leading him out into the main cafe, then out the front door. Once they were both standing under her shop's tarp, she locked the door, put up her hood, and started down the street without another word.

"Alright," said Noah as he followed after her quickly. "So we going to get your bike?"

Lily stopped, turning to look at him confusedly. "How did you know I rode a bike?" she asked, staring at him suspiciously.

"You told me at the lake, when we met," He explained. "And no, I can't read minds," He said jokingly.

"Oh. I have a terrible memory," Lily said, laughing slightly as she kept walking. "And that's a relief," she added jokingly.
