Christmas in the Triangle
Zoe spent Christmas Eve and Day with Michelle at the local shelter helping out. Zoe helped to cook and serve a holiday meal with other volunteers, and kept the peace if anybody got out of hand. This year there was more to serve, and gifts for the children. The unexpected bounty wasn't questioned, only accepted and passed on to those who needed it.

"I was going to test the pies on my next break." Zoe's secret weakness was for pie. Any kind of pie. Put baked pastry with a filling in front of her and she would throw something at anybody who tried to take it away. "Pumpkin. You like pumpkin?"

A tiny voice from the other side of the serving table piped up. "I like it!"

She turned a smile on the kid. "You'll get a piece, I promise. After you eat your vegetables."

	"Oh, so you're a pie girl? Noted. I'm more partial to cake, but everyone's got their preference. Pancakes or waffles?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What weird questions he asked, but breakfast wasn't much of a secret. "Neither. French Toast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"French toast? First person I've met that really likes it." Trey says. "Pumpkin pie is one of my favorites. I'll take apple over anything, though." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There might be a few donated apple pies. We'll check and you can give it a taste drive, see if it'll do for the clients." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like that idea. Did you make any of the pies? Just so I know who to compliment if they're great, you know." Trey grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The local businesses and pantries donated money, food, toys, and they're cooked and baked here. We got the pies and rolls from bakery school. It's a lot cheaper to buy their students' work. I can't cook. I can make coffee but that's about it."

She gave the matter a serious thought and an answer that could be construed as a joke. "I suppose if you really like the pie, I can get the name of the culinary student for you."

	"Oh, well it doesn't have the same effect if you didn't make them, Zoe. I wanted to try out your pie." Trey says. "So, have dinner near me on break?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That made her pause and examine his words for something that would get most guys hurt. His expression said he was serious. "We can take a couple of plates out back. I need to get out of the heat and it's cooler outside the kitchen. Did you come down here by yourself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A sheepish expression crosses Trey's face just then. "Yeah, more or less. I don't have a curfew, if that's what you're asking." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wasn't asking that, just wondering if you were expected to go eat with other people." (Reply to this)(Parent)
