“What flavor?”
Lori shrugged. “I’m a simple girl, so . . . vanilla, chocolate, or lemon. Oh wait, I love red velvet, too.” She held up a finger. “And pecan praline.”
I chuckled. “In other words, any and all cupcakes.”
“Basically. Yes.” Lori glanced at her phone again. “Favorite color?”
“Green,” I answered.
She gave me a knowing smile. “Also green.”
“Interesting . . .”
“Indeed.” Lori scrolled through her phone. “Here we go. Which of the five senses would you say is your strongest?”
“This shouldn’t be a surprise—smell.”
Lori laughed. “I should’ve known.”
“And you?”
She hesitated. “Touch.”

I nodded. “Yeah . . .”

Lori turned to me. “What?”
Busted.
I shrugged. “Nothing. Are we done with the questions for today?”
“Do you want to be done?”
“No—not really. How about two more?”
Lori smiled. “Sounds good. Let’s see if I can find something that enquiring minds want to know.” She started scrolling through her phone again. “No.” She scrolled. “No way. Uh-uh.” More scrolling. “Not even a chance. Not that, either.”
“How about if I choose a question?”
