She wondered why Caleb had been so uncomfortable when she'd eaten that first piece of candy. Wasn't that why he'd given it to her, to eat? With a shrug Lily took another chocolate from the box and popped it into her mouth, where she rolled it slowly from one cheek to the other. Then she let it rest in the center of her mouth, sucking gently so the flavor would last. Men were such strange, incomprehensible creatures, giving a lady a present and then tugging at their collars and squirming in their seats just because she enjoyed it. When she saw Caleb again on Saturday she'd ask him to explain.
