"That's a pretty name, Josette." Really, it was. "Which do you prefer?" Josette or Josie. Ella didn't want to call her a nickname only reserved for her father, y'know?
Josette's interest in the cookies only made the Head Girl's smile broaden. Ells was hoping she'd ask. "Chocolate chip. My Gran's recipe. I was thinking I might be able to use some help...if you're interested."
She thought her name was pretty?
Josette whispered softly,
"Thank you."
Which did she prefer to be called? Well, honestly she didn't really know. She actually hadn't met a lot of people who'd called her Josie besides her father.
Josette thought about it for a moment before she nervously looked up at her saying in a questionable tone,
"Jo..Josie?"
She was going to make chocolate chip cookies?! But she was going to make any ordinary recipe, she was going to bake her grandmother's recipe? So that must have meant that they were definitely going to be special! She wanted help? Josette's help? Josette looked at her cement bowl before looking back at Ella. A tiny smile was soon seen across her lips before she nodded,
"Okay."
