closed for @poisonvdhonvy (for violeta) location: sweet fortune
The golden light inside Sweet Fortune caught every shimmer on the éclairs like tiny treasures. Rhea glanced over at Violeta, but mostly kept her eyes on the display case, as if the delicate pastries might whisper some secret. “You know,” Rhea began, her voice low, like sharing something private even though they were just surrounded by desserts, “this place is ridiculous. It’s like they took every fancy thing they could find and said, ‘Let’s glue gold on it and call it art.’” She bit into her éclair, letting the rich chocolate and cream fill her senses. “But honestly? It’s kind of perfect. Because out there, everything’s a mess. But here? It’s just... beautiful. Simple, even if it’s wrapped in a gold leaf.”
Rhea’s gaze drifted back to Violeta. “I swear, sometimes all I want is to hide out in a place like this forever. No chaos. No games. Just éclairs and stupid little macarons pretending to be jewels.” She laughed softly, shaking her head. “Do you think we’d survive that? Or would we just get bored and start stirring up trouble anyway?” Was this whole outing a way to distract her from the mess in her life, yes but also she'd missed her friend and they were overdue for this outing anyways.
