“The packet the girl had given him smelled wonderfully of cake and spice; and he wondered who she was, or what he had done to deserve her attention. Other girls were giving out gifts of cakes or garlands to their sweethearts-but he was notoriously, famously shy of girls-everyone teased him for it, she intended to give it to Bogdan, that was most probably the answer.” — C.J. Cherryh
