    Summary

    “The show,” he says. “It’s probably best if they don’t—if we don’t—”

    And Rey follows his line of thought at once. For all the program is one that doesn’t seem melodramatic—the height of drama in previous seasons came from someone’s cake falling over and that was about it—she does not doubt that the producers and cameramen would leap at the opportunity to make there be something out of nothing in their relationship—especially if there was something out of something.

    “Yeah,” she agrees. “Yeah, probably. We can pick baking stations that are…” but she doesn’t want to complete the thought. She likes baking next to Ben.

    “Or we can just be careful?” he suggests, sounding quite as pained by the prospect as Rey feels.

    “Yeah, careful. I can do careful,” Rey says at once and her lips are on his again and he’s laughing now, and she’s laughing, and she didn’t think laughter would be part of all this. She didn’t think it could be. But here she is, laughing and kissing and holding a man who, at some point, she’s going to want to beat.

    She does her best not to think of that now.

    It’s a friendly competition, after all.

    It’s not life and death.

    It’s baking.
