“You know, you could also tell me to bake them for you,” Eden chuckled at his dramatic behavior. “I may not come as close, but I can certainly try.”

Sterling hummed, tilting his head back and forth. “I guess I could… But these are amazing! I don’t know how they make them so well,” he declared. “Plus, I would want to make them with you.”

“C’mon, love, let’s go find you some cookies,” Eden shook her head with another chuckle. “But if we can’t find any, then it seems you’ll have to go to Minnesota to get the recipe.”

Sterling chuckled and kissed the side of her head. “Well, I’m sure I could find a flight for next weekend. But then I would miss my girlfriend… Maybe I would just have to bring her with me, hm?”

Eden flushed at his comment, rubbing the back of her neck. “I’m sure she’d love that,” she replied rather shyly. “Because she’d miss you, too.”

Sterling kissed her cheek and tightened his arm around her. “Well, then, I’ll have to take her some day if we do end up finding it, won’t I?”

Eden leaned into him, breathing him in deeply. “Yes, yes you should,” she replied, smiling softly. “You definitely should.”

“And we can go up to the mall there. It’s pretty big, and they have all sorts of things there,” Sterling murmured. “I think you’d enjoy it.”

“I think if I’m with you, no matter where we are, I’ll enjoy it,” Eden mumbled, rubbing the back of her head. “As long as you’re with me.”

Sterling’s smile widened, and he turned to hug her tightly. “I’m glad. I’m glad you think so. I want to make you happy,” he murmured.

Eden let out an ‘oof’ when he engulfed her in a tight hug, but she returned it just as tightly. “You do make me happy,” she assured him. “And… and I hope I do, too.”

“Definitely. So happy,” Sterling assured he softly. “Thank you. You’ve put me in a much better mood.”

“I’m glad,” she hummed. “If I can’t do that much, what kind of a girlfriend am I?”

“A very good one anyway,” Sterling murmured into her hair. “Okay, we keep getting distracted… Why are you so distracting, Eden?”

“No, Sterling, that equals a bad girlfriend,” Eden corrected him in amusement before she flushed at his next statement. “You make it distracting, Sterling, not me.”

“Mm, maybe. But you’re the one distracting me,” Sterling chuckled as he pulled away. He took a deep breath and let it out, then smiled at her. “Let’s go. Again.”

“Don’t get distracted again, handsome,” Eden slipped her hand in his, eyes cast to the ground. “I think we should be pretty close to your dream cookies.”

“I’ll try not to, but I can’t help that the girl beside me is incredibly beautiful,” Sterling said, nudging her side playfully as he squeezed her hand. “Oh, do you see them anywhere?”

“Aren’t you a flatterer?” Eden murmured before she looked around. “Not yet… oh, right there!”

Sterling’s gaze shot in the direction Eden pointed, and he grinned. “Yeah, that’s it! Sweet Martha’s Cookies!” he exclaimed, tugging her toward it.

Eden could only laugh as he tugged her to it, the spark in his eyes making her heart warm. He was just… so adorable, wasn’t he? Every little part of himself that he showed her… Eden found herself loving all of them. “Hey, hey, slow down,” she told him in amusement. “They won’t go anywhere.”

“You don’t know that. What if they’re magic and only appear to certain people at certain times? We may never get this opportunity again!” Sterling exclaimed with a grin as they stopped in the line.

"You're ridiculous," Eden chuckled, wrapping her arms around his middle. "It's adorable. I like it. See, you waited for such a long time, and they decided to reward you."

Sterling pouted playfully for just a moment before he broke out into a chuckle. “All right, all right. We’re next!”

Eden didn’t respond. She merely chuckled, watching him with a twinkle in her eyes. Who knew Sterling could have such an adorable side to him? And then it was their turn and she watched Sterling as he bought the cookies.
