Summary
She summons all her courage. "Could we... t-try to be friends?" Her heart stutters with worry for what may or may not be.
But it's not needed for such a sweet man. Raphael beams and nods. "Absolutely!" He says, holding out his hand for her to take. "Start with me, and I'll start with you, Bernadetta."
Fighting caution, Bernadetta reaches out and shakes his hand. She musters her strongest smile for him. "Okay Raphael."
A baker/florist AU in which Bernadetta and Raphael learn how to be friends. A special upload for Raphael week, day 2: food and friendship!

Summary
“I’m sorry about Maya,” he says.
Bernadetta traces her finger over the notched wood. “No, no, it’s fine.” She says. “She’s fun.”
“When she heard that we were friends, she wanted to meet you. She wouldn’t let up.”
Bernadetta’s eyes move from the notches on her side to his. Her gaze wanders the chipping red paint. “We’re friends?”
“Yeah, well, I think so.” He says before catching himself. “Unless that makes you uncomfortable.”
“No!” Bernadetta says too quickly and too loudly. The couple at the table beside them glance her way and she turns bright red. Raphael wears a look of surprise and confusion. She shakes her head. “I meant, no. I like that.”
