＂Thank　you！＂　Sukie　replied，　taking　her　order　to　a　nearby　table.　She　took　a　bite　of　the　cinnamon　bun　and　closed　her　eyes　in　delight.　The　taste　was　as　heavenly　as　she　had　imagined.

The　man　smiled　warmly.　＂It　takes　time.　I，m　Lars，　by　the　way.＂

Over　the　next　few　weeks，　Lars　and　Sukie　began　to　see　more　of　each　other.　He　introduced　her　to　local　traditions，　took　her　to　hidden　gems　in　the　city，　and　patiently　helped　her　with　the　language.　Th
