His reply:
“At work. 😂 Why?”
Then came the punchline:
“I was just joking! 😂 Since you’re already there, you might as well grab the bread.”
Relief, embarrassment, and laughter hit Amelia all at once. People stared as she giggled uncontrollably on the sidewalk. She texted back:
“You. Are. The. Worst.”
Inside the bakery, she bought the bread and, for good measure, grabbed two of Mark’s favorite chocolate pastries. At home, Mark grinned like a kid caught in the act:
“So… how’s Valerie?”
Amelia laughed until tears rolled down her cheeks. “You’re impossible,” she said, hugging him tightly. “Never prank a prankster, sweetheart.”
That afternoon became an inside joke, a story they would retell for years — at dinners, to friends, to their kids — a reminder that love isn’t about perfection. It’s about playfulness, trust, and the ability to laugh even when you feel foolish.
The day taught Amelia that fear can twist reality in seconds, but humor can untangle it just as fast. Sometimes, love is just a shared laugh, a slice of bread, and a little chocolate pastry.
