Smiling she turned a bit toward him, “well if you made it through my rambling, I like simple things. Can’t go wrong with the basics.” she was about to glance back and decide for herself when she heard him say he didn’t eat many sweets. It always surprised her to hear something of the sort but honestly, she felt the same way. “Understandable. I don’t eat them too often.”
”Well,” he said slowly, thinking of Sachin’s tastes. He seemed to like and be open to anything. ”I’d say they have more of an adventurous taste in things,” He felt a little foolish asking for help, but he wanted to make sure he got something the man would really enjoy and that might help take the sting out of his cancelation. Maybe he’d get a mixture of both – simple and exotic. But fudge? Maybe fudge was a bit too much. It seemed more like a one flavor type of gift. ”I’m not sure fudge is the right thing,” he said simply looking around the store. Maybe he should just send flowers. It sure seemed simpler.

He gave her a shy smile as she returned his declaration of only eating sweets on occasion. Conley had learned long ago that his waistline wasn’t the most forgiving and until recently, his diet had consisted of a lot of takeout foods. Sweets, just didn’t make the cut in things he could allow himself to eat without getting fat. He glanced over at the lady, pulling himself out of his thoughts and realized she had gone back to looking at the fudge selections. He wandered to a shelf nearby, looking at the boxes of truffles.
