" Sofia glanced from Jack to Lara. She seemed pleased they were together. "What can I get for you today?" she asked.
Lara didn't hesitate. She knew exactly what she wanted. "A pumpkin scone and a small hot apple cider." She withdrew a ten-dollar bill from the pocket of her blazer. "I'll pay for whatever the mayor orders as well."
Jack blinked. None of his staff had ever bought him coffee or bakery goods. Paula was notorious for putting her sweet on his tab, as she had just done today. She was saving for college. He didn't mind. All in all, an assistant with a sugar fix was a happy assistant.
Lara's gesture of buying him a snack was kind and generous. It also opened up the opportunity for him to suggest she join him for supper. His excuse to pay her back. He'd locate her at the end of the day. Issue the invitation.
"Mayor Hanson?" Sofia caught his attention.
He made a quick decision. "I'll have a Brown Butter Shortbread Cookie, black coffee. "
