[Luckily, Michael is still here! He answers the door; behind him, there's a bunch of stuff piled on his bed.]

Hi! Merry Candlemas - is that right? [at least part of that feels wrong]

[parfaitgirl]

[ She looks a little embarrassed, now that she has to give him this box to his face. ]

Um, well ... here. [ She holds it out for him. ]

[He asks offhandedly, already opening the box.]

Ooooh, cake!

[parfaitgirl]

[ She shrugs. ]

Yeah. It's, um ...

[ Her lips quirk up a little. ]

Devil's food cake.

The latter was a sushi place. And beignets are a sort of deep-fried French donut.
