The gentle touches were so infrequent with Evander that Caroline noticed each one however small. She could get use to this. She wondered if perhaps it was the baby that brought it on - this tenderness that she hadn't seen often from him.

But what did she want? Caroline's thoughts wandered, "A scone, I think. " She settled on. Just Evander asked her her favorite breakfast food. She laughed. "Have you already forgotten? Crepes." She'd discovered them during their trip to Paris on their honeymoon and had asked their cook to learn how to make them. Likely part of her loved them all the more because they were the first breakfast that she and Evander had had together. Or maybe it was simply because of the appetite she had worked up with him the night before. Whatever the reason she had declared that first morning of their marriage that crepes were her favorite thing for breakfast - if not her favorite food altogether.
